Is the daily build of Ubuntu (Focal Fossa 20.04.1) the exact same as the released Ubuntu 20.04.1 after i would execute apt-get update/upgrade ?

The daily build

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/408/builds

will become 20.04.2 when it's released. It's currently not getting much attention, as it means little until the groovy stack (ie. 5.8 kernel etc) is completely stable.

All attention currently is still on getting groovy out, with any issues discovered fixed in groovy, which flow automatically back to focal daily (as 20.04.2 will use the groovy stack for HWE enabled installs).

  • View a page up http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ to get a *glimpse* of where current development work is & testing is focused. It's not a complete picture, as the page is constantly change (eg. 16.04.7 or Xenial 16.04.7 wasn't expected so only appeared on that page a little over a week before it was released if I recall correctly). – guiverc Oct 06 '20 at 00:27
  • so, the answer to my question is no? I am asking because i am hitting a bug in 20.04.1 which is fixed in the daily build. will i also get the fix when just doing an apt upgrade? unfortunately i cannot try it out right now. – user1291235 Oct 06 '20 at 00:49
  • No... To get some packages early you could enable *-proposed* https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed which will get you *fixes* early, however not all *fixes* make it to *stable* as extra *testing* is done whilst in *proposed* and if problems increase, they'll get backed out (this never reach *stable* or normal repositories). Using the Focal -proposed repository is more what you're after.. but does contain risks as it's still *testing* software/packages. – guiverc Oct 06 '20 at 01:17
