Package inclusion schedule for 16.04

[Richard Elkins]

Does such a package inclusion schedule exist? If so, please reply with
a URL. Thanks. As 16.04 is in alpha #1, I didn't want to create a bug
report nor rush the lsb package developers in any other way.

I am writing as I own an Epson XP-410 multifunction printer whose
drivers (Epson-proprietary and open software versions) are dependent on
the package lsb. Packages lsb-base and lsb-release are both present in
16.04 but do not satisfy the dependency requirements.


On the bright side of things, the upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04 was
(except for temporary lsb issue) 100% flawless on my HP Pavilion
dv3-1075us Laptop (circa 2009). It was like upgrading to a fully
released Xubuntu. Great integration and quality control!

My apologies for not being around for much testing this past several
months as the other aspects of my life have been commanding my attention.

Xubuntu didn't participate in the Alpha 1, so we strictly speaking
haven't had a milestone at all yet.

If I understand you correctly, are you saying these packages are not
installable right now due to dependency issues? Or that they don't
work with your printer because of a version problem? I don't have any
insight here, just trying to get all the details.

Thanks, Elizabeth.

The epson printer packages like many other 3rd party packages require the
Ubuntu standard package lsb. Unfortunately, lsb is not yet available in
16.04; the developers are peddling as fast as they can.

I was just wondering if anyone was aware of a schedule for introducing the
packages which are defined to be part of the release. Actually, I forgot
that I was using this 3rd party package!

I can wait. The missing packages will probably show up by beta-1. I'll
print with one of my other computers until then.
