Re: [Ekiga-devel-list] [VALVE] Ubuntu Edgy

Hi Jan,

Guess who documents those broken stuffs?
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga#head-8a1ff4f72f1c76533d456a91223854f2c772d7ca

I fully agree with you. Edgy was release in 4 months introducing lots of
new technos. What a mess in ubuntu forums... I personnaly only trust LTS
releases (dapper for instance). When moving to ubuntu, I was hoping
something more recent than stable Debian with a faster upgrade cycle.
Finaly, I stick with Dapper for production... 

IMO Ubuntu has a release cycle during 1 year and a half for stable
version.

btw, today is a great day:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-vfs2/+bug/76301 
"update uploaded now"

No more comments...

Regards,
Yannick
