[Bug 1854988] Re: Block automatic sync from debian for the next LTS

[Andreas Hasenack]

** Changed in: haproxy (Ubuntu)
     Assignee: (unassigned) => Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack)

** Description changed:

  Upstream haproxy has the concept of an LTS release, and a stable (non-
  LTS) release. Currently, these are (see table at
  http://www.haproxy.org/):
  
  stable: 2.1.x
  stable LTS: 2.0.x
  
  Debian unstable is at the moment tracking 2.0.x, and debian experimental
  is tracking 2.1.x.
  
  For the next ubuntu lts release, we would like to stay on the 2.0.x
  track, which is upstream's LTS.
  
+ From the 2.0 upstream announcement[2]:
+ """
+ The development will go on with 2.1 which will not be LTS, so it will
+ experience quite some breakage to prepare 2.2 which will be LTS and
+ expected approximately at the same date next year.
+ """
+ 
+ "same date next year" would be roughly June 2020, so not in time for
+ Ubuntu 20.04.
+ 
  Since this package is a sync, whenever the debian maintainers decide to
  push 2.1.x into unstable, we will automatically sync it (if we are not
  yet in feature freeze mode). To avoid that, a few options were
  explored[1], and adding an ubuntu version to the package seems the best
  one.
  
  Therefore, the package will have an ubuntu version, have its maintainer
  changed, but no extra delta, just to stop the automatic sync from
  happening. Whenever new versions of the 2.0.x track are uploaded to
  debian/sid, we will merge it manually into ubuntu.
