What's new in Ubuntu Maintenance Check r22

Apr 16, 2009
  • A few people wanted to be able to generate a full list of packages that are maintained and now for how long. This is now possible with the --all option.
  • Fixes include the previous omission of packages that were in main but not directly used in desktop, server or kubuntu seeds. They are now listed as 18mo maintenance by default.
  • Also added some code so that kernels shoudl always be marked with their correct maintenance life.

  • Thanks to Kees Cook, maintenance check now caches the information it downloads in order to computes the maintenance period for packages (germinate output for seeds). The output now list in which seeds the package was found.

  • The seeds have now been updated for dapper, hardy, intrepid and jaunty and this has now been reflected in the script. This means that the results should now be valid -> it's time to test and report discrepancies.
  • Kees added a --verbose option and helped me clean up some code. Thanks.
