[ubuntu-uk] UDS Questions for the podcast

[Ian Pascoe]

Alan

Be interested to hear on current views about positive / active interactions
Ubuntu have with upstream projects currently following the Debion security
hole, and the on going suggestion that distros should have their own patches
against a branch of the kernal GIT repo. and not just hold them in house.

Additionally, what packagers look for in a project before bringing it into
the official Ubuntu repos, and is the reverse true for projects that get
dropped?

Mark Shuttleworth recently hinted that he would like to see the major
Linux Distributions synchronised. I am sure there are many and varied
views on that. I would be interested to know what people think are the
main benefits and drawbacks. Also, what are the hurdles that would
need to be overcome to achieve it?
