(Get the code!)
It's only "end of life" because the bug-handling team sat on it without action for four years. This bug is not MY problem, it's yours.
No, I am neither able nor willing to reproduce this with a later Ubuntu release. I've switched to Fedora.
If you actually care about addressing the bug that I wasted a few hours chasing down and reporting to you, the bug report contains all the information that YOU need to reproduce it (on Karmic or any later release). I did my part. You could've tried to reproduce it, then reported "I can't reproduce it, neither in Karmic nor the latest release", showing good faith on your part, and then it would be worth my time to help chase it down. But since your response is just a lazy attempt to chivvy the bug into a "closed due to EOL" status without actually doing any work to solve the underlying problem, why should I waste any more time here? If I did reproduce it in 12.04 or 13.10, I have every reason to expect another multi-year delay and then another demand that if I don't work on it some more, you'll just close it unfixed.
I suggest making a new category for "bugs closed because we aren't interested in addressing them" and closing it into that category. It'll be a very popular category. Merely closing the bug would leave the incorrect implication that it had been fixed -- or even investigated.
