3 days and no updates for Hardy?

[Kilz]

I installed the Hardy Release candidate before the actual release. Up to the 22nd I received updates daily. Now 3 days have passed and I have not had one update to a newly released operating system. I have checked multiple times a day, my sources.list is good, but no updates. Perhaps Hardy is perfect, but in my past experience at least a few updates happen within days of a release.

must be perfect then... ;)

Nope... while its quite usable, it still has a few minor things that could use tweaking by the developers.

My guess is the devs are taking a well deserved break.

Cheers :)

Expect some updates in a few weeks. I'd give the devs a break before they start working on updates :p

And on the 23rd the packages were frozen in order to build the disc images :) Just so you know why there was no updates :)

In a few weeks? I think by then a few dozen others will be screaming something is wrong because of no updates. Strangely, my Feisty partition has gotten some.

Minor bugs wont be fixed. Only critical bugs and those about security will be.

[Kilz]

That may be true, but whats minor to me, may be critical or be a security flaw. I have one bug that stops the desktop starting every 10 or 11 tries. But that is off point. I have a feeling that this install still thinks it a release candidate and not the release.

Still no update, 27 April 2008

[FredB]

Just wait. Updates will be there on time. No problems on my computer using hardy since its beta stage.

[SunnyRabbiera]

Yeh i definitely got to get a bug report in about the gnome terminal freezing on me, it needs to be done...

I agree with you on that one

I suspect they are giving the mirrors a break , at release time they are jammed with people downloading the new image , adding a bunch of updates would bring things to a halt , wait a few days .

I understand about the devs needing a break, I do. But, a day is just no good when I only hit on coffee and not on sudo apt-get upgrade...can you understand that?

It's not like I'm addicted. It's like my body's developed this massive sudo apt-get upgrade deficiency.

:lolflag:

Give the devs a break, theres normally a rush of updates all at the one time.There will be working on stuff for 8.04.1.

[the8thstar]

I've gotten so used to constant updates that I even check my Vista update every couple of hours now, just to hope to see something pop up in the window... That's addiction I say. :)

there is a feed of updates.
http://feeds.ubuntu-nl.org/HardyChanges

virtinst 0.300.2-0ubuntu6
xmms-crossfade 0.3.14-1build1

have been uploaded since the release.

remember that updates to the stable release go into hardy-proposed for testing before hitting hardy-updates. if you want you can enable hardy-proposed in software-sources.

Thanks for that link, it gives some good info and removes all the guesswork about what has been released.

There have now been numerous updates to Hardy per the link a few posts up. Including gtk, hal and the update manage. To date I have had a whopping 0 updates. Something is wrong.

I dont want proposed packages, or pre release packages. What I am saying is that it has now been a week since release. Per post 17, This page lists the following releases (http://feeds.ubuntu-nl.org/HardyChanges)
1. The 23rd - 5 packages released
2. The 24th - 4 packages including the gnome file system and compiz plugins that I have installed.
3. The 25th and 26th 1 package released per day
4. The 28th 4 packages released including gtk that I know is installed for my Gnome desktop.
5. The 29th 17 packages released including evolution and the update manager that I know are installed on my system
6. The 30th 7 packages including hal, sudo, nautilus, gnome-desktop, and gnome-control-center that I know are installed on my system.
7. May 1st 6 updates including the linux kernel, linux-ubuntu-modules, update-manager that I know are installed on my system

7 days of releases, not one, and I repeat not one update has shown in the update manager, in the terminal, anyplace. I have checked multiple times a day, all repositories are enabled on my sources.list.

I have filed a bug report on launchpad

[jazz452]

It seems to me that software sources updates unchecked themselves.After i ticked proposed updates i got 82 updates.

[ssam]

the updates go into proposed-updates for testing before hitting the hardy-updates repo.

if you want to help testing the proposed updates, then enable the proposed repo, read the changelogs, expect occasional problems, and file bugs if you spot regressions.

Have you compared the packages in your package lists (/var/lib/apt/lists) with the repos(Example: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-proposed/main/binary-amd64)? I have received a few updates, but I have been waiting for 2.6.24-17 for awhile and I have not gotten it. The package lists matches with the repos and the repos for main is listed at Apr 29. I have finally viewed the package lists in hardy-proposed and have found that the package is still there. It looks like the Hardy Changes link matches up with the proposed than the actual.

In short, I think that the packages that you are waiting for are still in proposed. You might just take a look at the proposed package lists (example - http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-proposed/main/binary-amd64/) and see if they match your list for post 17.
