Re: [HTCondor-users] Ubuntu / Debian Packages

[TarotApprentice <tarotapprentice@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes good question.

Checking Debian just now they have a 8.6.8 package in Sid (unstable) and Buster (testing). Not sure why that wasn't pushed through to Stretch-backports as Stretch (the current release) is stuck on 8.4.11.


Can we get 8.6.10 which was released on 13 March 2018 moving through Debian (and thus Ubuntu) with a view to getting it into Stretch-backports. Do I need to drop an email to the packaging team at Debian so they are aware there is a new version?

Dear Tim,


do you have news on this? 

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will enter the final freeze in a few hours, and the release should happen next week,

so it would be best to have HTCondor packages ready. 


Cheers,

    Oliver
