SRU Developers¶
SRU Developers are developers with a specialisation in working on Stable Release Updates in Ubuntu. They are granted direct upload to the Ubuntu Archive for all packages – but only to the stable releases.
Training and preparation¶
SRU Devs have uploads subject to the standard SRU process, including review from SRU team members and all other SRU policies. They have a good track record of sponsored SRUs, thus demonstrating an understanding of SRU policies, requirements and process.
They also drive SRUs through to the end, not letting things languish in -proposed.
Developers who focus on package-specific areas in Ubuntu, such as MOTU and Package Set uploaders also upload SRUs without necessarily being a member of the SRU developers team.
By contrast, SRU developers work on SRUs across different sections of the Ubuntu Package Archive.
Voting¶
SRU Developers are granted a vote when the Development Membership Board or Technical Board are polling Ubuntu Developers.
Join SRU developers¶
