Description Pavol Cupka 2018-12-15 22:36:03 UTC

I think it would be also good to add LTS versions for LXD and LXC as these are maybe more suitable for production and are also supported until June 2023.

I was under the impression that we were already doing that for LXC, that is, keeping LXC 2.x around and not clean it from the tree.

Comment 2 Pavol Cupka 2018-12-16 20:09:21 UTC

I can confirm that LXC is ok with providing LTS versions, but these are surely missing for LXD.

I get it but given that:
- I'll want a dedicated VM to test the old branch
- Frequent (monthly) releases means there is already maintenance that is above package average
- There are currently zero users of LTS lxd on Gentoo
- There is already a form of stable/unstable offerings on the 3.x branch

... I don't see an LTS offering providing enough value to justify the additional more-than-double effort.
