Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Codenamed The Focal Fossa, Arriving On 23 April

And yes it is a Bad Thing because the package repositories are always listed by code name rather than release version. It makes finding the right repository more confusing than it needs to be if you need to track down a package manually. It's not cute. It's annoying.

If you want a specific deb you go to here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/ where there is no codename and all packages.

No. Packages' urls won't have any indication on YY.MM they will contain "focal".
See https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/devel/apt-build for example

I wasn't talking about package URLs. You shouldn't be messing with that directly. Look here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/

Seriously? It's way easier for me to remember "eoan" or "disco" than "19.04" or "19.10". The latter names are too generic.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

BTW, the animal names are childish, not cool.

kobblestown The final product is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Animal names is only during development. But the animal names are cool and tend to stick.

It is called 20.04. Focal Fossa is the internal development name. In the releases directory they are all numbered according to yy.mm.

I wonder why can't it be called... 20.04. It carries so much more information. In conversation I always refer to Ubuntu releases by their YY.MM moniker. I usually don't even remember the stupid animal names and I often have trouble finding the right release directory at the server.

U think they’ll have wayland as default on the next LTS after that?
