Hi,

I wanted to ask if it's planned to build packages for Vivid,Wilyand Xenial. I couldn't find any packages for these releases on https://rex.linux-files.org/ubuntu/dists

Thanks!

Hi @johscheuer currently we're only building packages for ubuntu lts versions. Since ubuntu is shipping rex itself maybe it would be good to also build packages for non-lts versions, so that users can update their rex package.

I just checked and it looks like current LTS versions (12.04 and 14.04) of Ubuntu doesn't ship with rex (16.04 will ship rex-1.3.3). So building rex packages for LTS Ubuntu versions still would make sense.

On top of that, I think it's a good idea to try to build packages for any Ubuntu versions that is still supported by their upstream (=Canonical). This would mean 15.10 Wily as of now, but not 15.04 Vivid (EOL 2016-02-04).

I can generate a 15.10 virtual machine easily on build.rexify.org to help with packaging.
