Antoine, before you come here accusing others of falsehood, I suggest you learn how Ubuntu releases work.

It is by design that Ubuntu releases only get targetted bugfixes and not entire backports. When I looked at your "official" packages way back when they had numerous flaws from a packaging perspective but it has been a few years and I cannot recollect what they were. Given your lack of understanding of Ubuntu and Debian packaging policies and the sheer number of platforms that upstream xpra is attempting to package for it would be a miracle and an incredible amount of work if you got everything right.

I am quite certain that your "official" packages do not work (or rather did not work when I tested them) on older (by now unsupported) versions of Ubuntu.

In any case, you don't like people from Ubuntu and Debian releases go upstream and report bugs for code you released a few months or a year or two ago. Understandable. That is what this bug tracker is for, a Ubuntu bug tracker. At the same time, we at Ubuntu also do not like when people with "official" upstream packages come here and report problems. Neither of this is helpful. I am not sure you will understand this but it's simply the truth. If you want to run a distro and want support, you have to stick with the distro.

If a user wants later packages, use the latest Ubuntu release or a snap package (I just checked and apparently there is no xpra package in snap, there might be an app image, dunno, but https://xpra.org/trac/ticket/1748 suggest to me there isn't).
