[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 297007] Re: Mono is Not Updated to the Latest Version

[Chris Coulson]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu
better. Ubuntu has a policy for updating packages in the stable release,
whicah can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.

Updating to a new version of Mono because it provides extra features
would probably not meet the criteria for a stable release update.
However, it may be possible to backport the new version when it appears
in Jaunty, using the backport procedure (see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports).

If you are experiencing specific bugs with the current version of Mono
or can highlight specific security vulnerabilities, then please open
separate bug reports for these problems, so they can be considered for
fixing via the normal SRU process. This would normally involve patching
the current version to fix the problem as opposed to introducing a new
upstream version. Updating to the new upstream version would introduce
risks of regression.

I'm removing the 'security vulnerability' status from this bug report,
as you have not reported any specific security vulnerability
