Ubuntu updates policy regarding beta and final releases for Ubuntu flavours |
 |
Some of Ubuntu's official subprojects have been in a state of flux during the distribution's release process, with some missing an important beta or release candidate release. To ensure the quality of final releases, Ubuntu has updated the policy regarding its flavours. From now on, if a project misses a beta release, it will not be allowed to provide the final build. Oliver Reiche clarifies the decision: "As we look toward future releases, the Release Team would like to clarify our policy regarding beta participation. To ensure that every flavor is fully prepared for the final release, please be advised that no flavor will be considered for an official release unless it has successfully submitted a beta release according to the scheduled timeline. The package diffs between beta and final releases should be minimal and only contain bug fixes. For Resolute, we made a rare exception with Ubuntu Kylin. While @handsomefeng did a tremendous job in getting his release in shape just in time despite missing the beta window, this was a one-time occurrence. To maintain the quality and stability of our collective final products, we will not be making such exceptions moving forward." OMG Ubuntu provides further details about the ruling.
