Ich kann ja Debian mittlerweile überhaupt nix mehr abverlangen. Als Client nur bedingt brauchbar, weil gewissen Software wegen ihrer Lizenzpolitik fehlt, und als Server-Betriebssystem total unbrauchbar. Jedenfalls wenn man die bleeding-edge-Funktionen von Services braucht. Oder die Pakete sind gleich ganz kaputt, oder kaputt compiled.
Mehr als im Klo runterspülen kann man das Zeug eigentlich nicht mehr. Und jetzt lese ich folgendes:
“Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, codenamed Etch, had been due to arrive by December 4, 2006, but it’s been delayed because some developers have deliberately slowed down their work.” (…)”Some people who used to do good work reduced their involvement drastically. There was nothing I could do about, and that happened way before I started full-time on release, but on the global picture that still counts.”
Ich würde bei so nem Projekt auch den Bock verlieren.
Jaspert also said that Dunc-Tank “has demotivated a lot of people who now either resigned, simply stopped doing (parts of their) Debian work or are doing a lot less than they did before DT was started. The freeze got delayed and getting the release out on schedule has become nearly impossible. We are unable to see any good virtue in this ‘experiment.’ “
“The heated discussion DT has consumed an incredible amount of time and energy that could also have been used in a much more productive way,” Jaspert added. “This was probably expected from the DT initiators but didn’t keep them from setting off this discussion at such an important time — shortly before the release. Why they didn’t introduce DT *after* the release, or much earlier in this release cycle, when there is/was time and a lengthy discussion would not have taken otherwise needed time is not understandable.”
