Please move LXDE to main

[Qichang Liang]

Binary package hint: lxde-common

LXDE 0.4.8.6 is already released

http://www.lxde.org

Please update to this version.

Also it would be nice if we can have a lxubuntu flavour with Ubuntu proper, rather than spin off from a previous verison of Ubuntu (like U-Lite)

But for this to happen, lxde-related package must first be included in main

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
LXDE 4.8.6 is a packaging af a lot of components that have lower versions.
For example, lxde-common in Ubuntu is already at the latest version (0.3.2.1).

Can you please indicate which packages has to be updated?

Thanks.

Oops, sorry...... I've misread the webpage and 0.3.2.1 is indeed the
newest version. However for LXDE to become an official Jaunty (or
Jaunty+1) flavour, I guess LXDE must be included into the main, together
with the lxubuntu-desktop metapackage which depends on everything that
makes a standalone operating system (have to pull the x.org backend
together with lightweight desktop apps, such as gnumeric, abiword, a
lightweight counterpart of evince, the browser kazekahase etc......)

So should we change the title of this to something like:

"please move LXDE to main"?

Thanks!

Unsubscribing ubuntu-main-sponsors, as this bug does not seem to e related to uploading a fix to the Ubuntu archive.

In addition, the packages in question do not need to be in main for a flavour of Ubuntu based around the lxde packages to be createdl.

If you really want to get these packages in main, you need to fill out a main inclusion report, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements.
