Faster release updates

[Wes]

Is there a reason why it can take a month from when a stable Chromium version is released for the Ubuntu package to be updated ?

67.0.3396.99 was released almost a month ago, 67 has been stable even longer, and Trusty - Bionic still have not been updated to the latest release version. The last few releases have been delayed by several weeks from the upstream stable release.

This seems like a long release delay especially for a high-risk application such as a browser and when compared to the Firefox package's release times.

Can the maintainers prioritise faster release times, considering this is a high-risk application with regular security updates ?

Thanks,

67.0.3396.99 is now available in cosmic, bionic, artful and xenial.
As for trusty, please read https://community.ubuntu.com/t/chromium-updates-on-trusty/5905.

This cycle was exceptional, stable updates for all supported series are usually available within a few days of upstream release.
