Comment 3 for bug 75604

I third this!

The LP user, https://launchpad.net/~sixxie has abandoned his PPA, https://launchpad.net/~sixxie/+archive/ubuntu/ppa. I had to fork it because it only supported up to Xenial and I have repeatedly attempted to contact Ciarian to update his PPA through the LP system and his email address as listed on 6809.org.uk but to no avail. It's been a month I have contacted him (according to the email I sent), only to be met with silence.

I updated his `xroar` and `asm6809` packages to work on Bionic, and it works fine.

There needs to be a way to remind PPA owners (if that's the right term) that a new Ubuntu release is nigh and if they want their software to work, update soon; or at least mark the PPA as "abandoned" if no update within 4 months of new Ubuntu release.

But I do propose that some people only want to support LTS versions (like me), so people should have the option in their PPA to say "LTS versions only" or "All versions"... it's just me, nitpicking... but it's an idea in the right direction...
