@lakotaubp which one exactly ? "Clarification about financial contributions" doesn't answer it and it's the only one touching the finances at all.

OK so from the above, the detailed answers is:

No optimistic delivery date exists. Simply check back every few months if there's a new stable release by running UBPorts from a spare SD card.
There's no known date of when Ubports on PinePhone will be able to work as a daily driver, so for now either:

• go for another phone if you still really want to use UBPorts
• go for another distribution if you really want to use Pinephone

Thank you all for the answers. Case closed.

On liberapay there are two profiles related to UBPorts:
https://en.liberapay.com/UBports/
and
https://en.liberapay.com/ubports-foundation/

What is the difference between the two?
What do I support with the first one and what do I support with the second?

I'll try to keep it short:

I have bought the PinePhone at the Q1 of 2021, since then, the Stable channel didn't seem to get any more stable. and I mean really. First bug that I experience already has a fix in devel channel, and it was there for months, but for some reason the stable channel didn't get it. Why? Who knows. Where is the plan on moving the fixes from devel to stable? Can't find that anywhere either. So, since:

• Issues reported on gitlab are still there not solved after being there for months.
• the PR created https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone/-/merge_requests/10 hasn't been merged for 10 months now, which to anyone who looks at it, is a big red flag.
• things listed as non working on https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/pinephone/ didn't seem to change at all since I bought the phone.

I guess I need to understand if we all want to go with UBPorts.

1. Since this seems to be the most important right now (judging from the answers given) When we can expect the 20.04 based system be available for Pinephone. I'm asking for an optimistic estimated delivery date.
2. Once the above is done how much more time the stable channel allow us to make the things that every other mobile system out there has? This means calling, SMS, MMS, dial tone. Asking for an optimistic delivery date.

This is so we can all understand when should we come back to the project and test it again, but go for another solution for the time being.

thank you, but in that case... is there SOME way using this release as an example to trace back commit messages that I can read at least to see what fixes/changes were made?

Every few days my phone downloads new Version of Ubuntu Touch:
recent that shows up:
Version 598 Updated 25 July

How to understand those versions? Where I can see the change log of what was done in this version so I know what should be checked for?
