Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee from Intrepid repository not up to date

You're probably going to be waiting for quite a bit, as even us Hardy Heron
8.04.3 (LTS) users aren't getting any updates and our support is
**supposed** to be good until April 2011!  I recall reading somewhere here
in these Nabble forums there was an issue with a Mono library that wouldn't
compile correctly, and someone said back it had been fixed for months.  That
was almost three months ago itself.  Basically unless we're willing to ride
the bleeding edge there is no support available for us Ubuntu users.

I'd welcome being proven wrong, but its definitely the way it seems from
here.  This isn't just an issue with Banshee, there are many projects that
only seem to cater to the latest and greatest release of Ubuntu, the users
who do not or cannot upgrade for whatever reason are ignored.  It is for
this reason (among others) I've begun distro-shopping lately and will
probably not bother with Banshee once I move on.
