Now that I have read more on the issue I feel that Dapper shouldn't be touched until Xfce4.4 is released as stable and once it is, compile a version for dapper and one for edgy, package them and place them in their respective repositories because that way neither is still running a Beta/RC. I understand "don't fix what isn't broken", but I think that applies to finished projects and while
Xfce4.4 is usable in its current state I am certain it will be rock solid once their dev team releases it as stable. Just a thought.<br><br>-Adam<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/2/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<br>this groups own admission are not as fully tested as they could be
<br>(because of lack of time and support), you run the risk of a) breaking<br>something else and b) potentially having to support multiple versions of<br>Xubuntu 6.06.<br></blockquote></div><br></span>I agree with all you have said. I'd rather keep working on feisty only with no updates to edgy/dapper
<br>and leave that to the backports team. There are no critical (data loss or security) bugs in xubuntu<br>dapper or edgy and only those are supposed to get into updates even if for ubuntu dapper this rule is<br>not strictly observed. There are annoying crashers which get fixed as well and maybe others.
<br>OTOH I can feel that being left with a version which could be made better with a few well chosen updates<br>is not ideal either. It's hard to define what is truly serios/annoying problem and what isn't. If we look at complaints
<br>and bug reports besides the menu being lost in early dapper there was no other bug which deserved an update IMO.<br><span class="sg"><br>Jani<br>
