I'm sorry this is happening to you. I'm on the team that helped bring podman into the CNCF and I worked on ubuntu for over a decade, this isn't a technical problem this is a business one. Podman is in universe, so Canonical doesn't care unless you pay. Fair enough, good engineers cost money. RH isn't going to pay. Podman engineers would love to be in Ubuntu, the Red Hat engineers would love to directly upload into Universe. Everything in this thread makes sense, it's a matter of who wants to pay for it. End users have been asking for this for years. The engineers don't make the decisions. Canonical doesn't want to pay, Red Hat doesn't want to pay. Users stuck in the middle. I get podman from brew even on Linux because the idea that vendors fighting over uploading tarballs to a server is stupid. Fuck distros. | ||||||||

I don't claim to understand the business or politics between RedHat and Ubuntu. I do know many projects with way less resources seem to be able to support Ubuntu and other popular distros just fine. Often through PPAs or their own apt repos (like Docker, PostgreSQL, or Incus). If RedHat doesn't choose to, so be it. But IMO, they can't really compete with Docker when getting a recent release on the most popular distros is such a major cluster F. | ||||||||

I'm confused, the latest LTS version of Ubuntu is 26.04 (released on 2026/04/23) and has Podman v5.7.0 (released on 2025/11/11). [1] If they're on a 24.04 LTS release is there any reason they would be on a newer version of Podman (without jumping through hoops)? Ubuntu 24.04LTS released on 2024/04/25 and the Debian Import Freeze was on 2024/02/29. The bleeding edge Podman release at that time was a pre-release v5.0.0-RC3 (2024/02/22) and the latest actual release was v4.9.3 (2024/02/13). That's the version Ubuntu 24.04LTS has. [2][3][4] So aren't they on the exact version of Podman they're supposed to be on for the operating system version they're running?
