[ckan-dev] Supported deployment platform plans

[Adrià Mercader]

Hi all,

Sorry if this comes out of the blue, but maybe it's a good moment to
start discussing it. Ubuntu 12.04 is due in three months and it will
be a LTS. Until now we only have supported Lucid (10.04) as deployment
platform, should we aim to support 12.04 in a future? Drop or maintain
support for Lucid?

I guess that it will mostly depend on:
* different python (2.7 [1]) and packages versions shipped with 12.04
* CKAN packaging infrastructure
* time/resources availability

What are your thoughts on this?



Adrià
