Weekly suggestions of bugs for Stable Release Updates.

[zulcss at gmail.com]

Hi

We'd like to get your suggestions on the bugs listed below that may be
considered for backports to the stable releases. The bugs must meet
meet the SRU criteria.

= SRU criteria =

As outlined in the Stable Release Updates Policy [1], Stable Release
Updates will only be issued in order to fix *high-impact*
bugs.

[1]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When

Examples of such bugs include:

A. Bugs which may, under realistic circumstances, directly cause a security
   vulnerability. These are done by the Ubuntu Security Team.
B. Bugs which represent severe regressions from the previous release of
   Ubuntu. This includes packages which are totally unusable, like being
   uninstallable or crashing on startup.
C. Bugs which may, under realistic circumstances, directly cause a loss of
   user data.
D. Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) have an obviously
   safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than critical
   infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel).
E. For Long Term Support releases we regularly want to enable new hardware.
   Such changes are appropriate provided that we can ensure to not affect
   upgrades on existing hardware. For example, modaliases of newly introduced
   drivers must not overlap with previously shipped drivers.
F. FTBFS (Fails To Build From Source) can also be considered. Please note
   that in main the release process ensures that there are no binaries which
   are not built from a current source. Usually those bugs should only be 
   SRUed in conjunction with another bug fix.

For new upstream versions of packages which provide new features, but don't fix
critical bugs, a backport [2] should be requested instead.
