The software stack can change its requirements, requiring newer or extra libraries and thus cause breakage. We want to ensure that the supported developer environment is always functional by always downloading the latest version from upstream.In addition to this, we support, of course, the latest available Ubuntu Release for developers who likes to live on the edge! Tests are running multiple times a day on this platform. All tools will always be backported and supported on the latest Long Term Support release. We agree they shouldn't have to and the platform should "get out of my way, I've got work to do." That's the reason why we focus heavily on the latest LTS release of Ubuntu. We know that developers want stability overall and not have to upgrade or spend time maintaining their machine every 6 months.We are conscious that being able to develop on a freshly updated environment is one of the core values of the developer audience and that's why we want to deliver that experience with Ubuntu Make. We get the latest and the best release that upstream delivers to all of us. No version is stuck in stone for 5 years. Ubuntu Make will always download, test and support the latest available upstream developer stack.Basically, one command to get your system ready to develop with!įirst, let's define the core principles around the Ubuntu Make and what we are trying to achieve with this: Ubuntu Make is a command line tool which allows you to download the latest version of popular developer tools on your installation, installing it alongside all of the required dependencies (which will only ask for root access if you don't have all the required dependencies installed already), enable multi-arch on your system if you are on a 64 bit machine, integrate it with the Unity launcher.
