• General discussions in English » Wormux 0.9 in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Is this going to happen?
I noticed that the version of wormux in the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) is 0.8.5.
That a shame because this version of Ubuntu is a Long Term Support release, so it will probably be around for quite a while. I know there is a PPA you can add, but...
Any chance of getting 0.9 in there? Feature freeze is tomorrow I think.

We are not Ubuntu developers... we can not do anything more that any users about that 
I'm no expert on packaging, but basically, an old version of wormux is in Debian. The package maintainers should really have updated it by now. A wormux dev might need to ping one of the package maintainers and let them know there's a new version out.
Once the new package was in Debian, you could (if it was fairly soon) ask for a feature freeze exception to get it into the new Ubuntu. You might not get it, but wormux is such a non-essential package they're more likely to accept it. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess
The wormux package details for debian sid are here:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/wormux

As i explain to FUZxxl on #wormux :
at every new release we sent a mail to all wormux past packagers who suscribe to wormux-update@gna.org
we can't do more
it's not our problem if debian or ubuntu don't have packager for wormux
we do the effort to manage a ppa
that's more than we have time to do
archlinux have 0.9 since the day after the release
we can't find a packager for all distribution
we lack of time
That's my opinion.

Everybody can do that... you don't need to be wormux dev to do that...
