Thread: LTS - versions
hi , know how lts version determined? eg , 10.04 supported 3 years date of release...
remember long time 2.6.32 kernel considered "stable" servers , production machines , think 2.6.35..
testing keep going on time , released "stable"?..so there 2 teams 1 development , testing on job...
curious how works? dev team keep releasing every 6 months , undergoes rigorous testing , released after time final?
, can assumed in lifecycle of release versions 1 day stable ? eg , 11.04 may declared stable , after year , 11.10 stable after 2 years , on?..so @ point stable release not latest because 1 or 2 versions have been released already?
think simpler model rolling release model in freeze upto point , work on there...
better model?? think rolling convenient both developers , users...
changes rolled in case of rolling release if goes wrong right? maybe incremental change less in case of rolling developing scratch , reversing in case of problem
feel october releases sort of experimental compared april release , april release grabs lot of attention..unity talked abt months before released in april..so major dev happens in april ..is so? grub2 adopted in 9.10 , not 9.04 , exception said rule?
ubuntu releases lts version every 2 years (8.04, 10.04, 12.04 etc.). these officially supported 3 years (server versions 5). other releases supported 18 months.
linux kernel has own lts policy has nothing ubuntu (although think ubuntu tries use lts kernel lts versions).
