Hi guys!
While I have nothing against bug-free software, I cannot read that
"update
to
the latest version and database" any more: Is it really because the
releases of
the previous years that many people used were so terrible (which, by
induction,
means that the latest versions recommended by that time were terrible,
so,
as
seen from tomorrow's perspective, the versions advertised today are also terribly full of bugs. In effect this means that there will never be a
version
that is not full of terrible bugs), or is it that no-one wants to care or
take
a look at about previous releases? Or are you just recruiting
beta-testers
for
the current release?
It is Project policy to only investigate issues in the current release.
There
is no sense in tracing back thru old code whose bugs have already been
fixed.
This means old versions are not supported and makes problems with openldap distribution packages as distributions don't update upstream versions inside distribution version. :(
For Debian that means staying with bugs for >2 years. It's hard to call this policy "right".
Hi!
Actually I don't know which distributors are "back-porting" fixes, but from my personal experience distributors don't trust the latest release either (and thus keep what they have) ;-)
