This thread exists to facilitate requests for backports of packages from later versions of Ubuntu Studio to 26.04 LTS.
In order to qualify for backporting, there are a few requirements:
- It must be an application which already exists in the Ubuntu repositories
- It must be an application which would not otherwise qualify for a simple bugfix, which would then qualify it to be a Stable Release Update. This means it must have new features.
- It must not rely on new libraries or new versions of libraries.
- It must not have any reverse dependencies or build dependencies.
- It must exist within a later supported release or the development release of Ubuntu.
More information can be found at this wiki page.
Packages exempt from backporting:
- Ardour
- New versions of Ardour can be downloaded from ardour.org for a small fee. This is an effort to support Ardour’s development.
- New versions of Ardour can also be obtained by using newer versions of Ubuntu Studio
- Any package which requires newer library dependencies than available in 26.04 LTS
All suggestions must pertain directly to Ubuntu Studio and can be rejected at the Project Leader’s discreation.
