[Bug 405234] Re: [karmic] Please update hugin to 0.8.0 version

[Savvas Radevic]

Sennaista, read about stable release updates:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure

They are provided only under the condition that the current package does
not work as expected and is *really* buggy. "Nominate for release" on
the top of the bug page is used for that. However if the package works
as expected, there's no point of updating it, since it already has a
stable version that simply works.

And packaging requires people to work on it, it's not an automated
process. :)

Alternative solutions:
- Usually backports are done mostly unofficially. For example, if you want to make a backport for it, you can make your own PPA repository in Launchpad and also share it with others to provide the package you want for older Ubuntu releases.
- You can ask the getdeb.net folks to package it for you and find the package on their website.
