[Bug 840135] Re: oneiric-backports enabled by default in software-properties

[Iain Lane]

** Description changed:

  Description:	Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
  Release:	11.10
  software-properties-gtk:
    Installed: 0.81.9
    Candidate: 0.81.9
    Version table:
   *** 0.81.9 0
          500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  Expected Outcome: oneiric-backports should be disabled by default
  Actual Outcome: oneiric-backports was enabled by default
  
  Proposed release note:
  
- Backports are now enabled by default.  Due to changes in Ubuntu package
- management applications, packages from backports will not be installed
- unless they are explicitly requested, so even though the repository is
- enabled, no additional packages will be installed as a result.
+ = Backports are now more easily accessible =
+ 
+ To enable users to more easily receive new versions of software, the
+ Ubuntu Backports repository is now enabled by default. Packages from
+ backports will not be installed by default — they must explicitly be
+ selected in package management software. However, once installed,
+ packages from backports will automatically be upgraded to newer
+ versions.

  To enable users to more easily receive new versions of software, the
  Ubuntu Backports repository is now enabled by default. Packages from
  backports will not be installed by default — they must explicitly be
  selected in package management software. However, once installed,
  packages from backports will automatically be upgraded to newer
  versions.
