<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If we don't need to update the ISO
really, we can just release 12.04.5 as is, with the updates that
have landed to Ubuntu core after .4. On the other hand, if there
is something we want in, it's another possibility to get stuff in
an ISO, not just updates.<br>
<br>
I would note that there is only 1 year left of Xubuntu support for
12.04, so not sure if it makes any difference to land big SRU's
now, since people need to upgrade to 14.04 somewhat shortly
anyway.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With 12.04.4 having just released, I wanted to propose
the idea of having a 12.04.5 point release for Precise.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As many are aware, recent 12.04.x point releases have
shipped with a newer kernel and X stack by default for
hardware enablement purposes. Maintainers of these
enablement stacks have agreed to support these until a
Trusty based enablement stack is supported in Precise.
Once a Trusty enablement stack is supported, all previous
enablement stacks would EOL and be asked to migrate to the
final Trusty based enablement stack which would continue
to be supported for the remaining life of Precise.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently, 12.04.4 is our final point release for
Precise. 12.04.4 shipped with a Saucy enablement stack by
default. This Saucy enablement stack in Precise will
eventually EOL in favor of the Trusty enablement stack.
Once that happens, our final point release for Precise
will be delivering an EOL'd enablement stack. This seems
unfortunate and inappropriate. I would like to propose
having a 5th point release for Precise which would deliver
the Trusty enablement stack for Precise.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Providing a 12.04.5 point release will add no
additional maintenance burden upon teams supporting
enablement stacks in Precise. It would require some extra
effort on part of the Canonical Foundations Team as well
as the Ubuntu Release Team to spin up an additional set of
images and testing coordination etc. However, I
informally discussed this with a few members of each of
those teams and the tentative agreement was that 12.04.5
was a reasonable request which could be accommodated.
Collectively we could find no compelling reason to not
provide 12.04.5. We also discussed that a 12.04.5 release
should be optional for the Flavors to participate in.
Additionally, we would want to purposely avoid clashing
the 14.04.1 and 12.04.5 release dates and would suggest
releasing 14.04.1 first and 12.04.5 after (exact date
TBD).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What are other's thoughts here? Does anyone have a
compelling reason for not providing a 12.04.5 point
release?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Leann</div>
