Ubuntu LTS repository availability

[eliocapelati]

Feature Request:

Would be nice to make this available at least to the latest LTS Ubuntu release.

My current system:

ubuntu@sad-server:~$ cat /etc/*release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="18.04.3 LTS (Bionic Beaver)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS"
VERSION_ID="18.04"
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
VERSION_CODENAME=bionic
UBUNTU_CODENAME=bionic

The output of system availability to the package is:

Hi @eliocapelati! The amazon-ecr-credential-helper package is available in Ubuntu 19.04 and newer, but unfortunately not available in 18.04. You can request a backport of the package using Ubuntu's backport process, described here. In the meantime, binary builds of the amazon-ecr-credential-helper are available here.
