The title of this article is: "ownCloud Asks Canonical to Remove Their Software from Ubuntu Repos, Sparks Fly" not "One of the big issues with the Ubuntu repositories, in particular "universe", is that it's full of old and unmaintained versions." |

The OwnCloud people seem to be saying that they don't have time to maintain packages for distros, but I think they should rethink their decision and try to become the package maintainer for major projects such as Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora. They would ensure quality by doing the work themselves, and they could offer the various versions, one of which I think is more stable (and hence older). Backporting fixes from newer versions to older ones because the distros don't want to change versions -- I grant that is a problem, but maybe they can get around that. Even Ubuntu LTS releases get browser updates, so maybe OwnCloud can make a case for that kind of situation for their software. |
