Steve runningĀ ?
For one second, I imagined he just joined the ever growing club of DD who happen to use running as a way to escape from hacking and, as a consequence, run a marathon next August in mar Del Plata. Then I realized he's "just" running for DPL..:-). Sigh. This confirms me that I'll be left with a though choice between 3 people I have great confidence in. [/bubulle/planet-debian] permanent link
A good way for Debian to fail in the long term...
Mentioning dpkg right now is probably not appropriate but there have been not more than 4 people active on it (including Ian Jackson despite the recent events). Just look at its bugs database. APT is maintained by Michael Vogt and Otavio Salvador, both involved in (too?) many other parts of the distribution. Just look at its bugs database. aptitude is maintained by Daniel Burrows alone (my help for l10n doesn't really count). Just look at its bugs database. Despite the tremendous work of the XSF, X.Org bugs decrease quite slowly and I don't doubt that in case one of the current 3-4 people who are very hard-working on it are swaped by real life, we'd be in trouble. I could find dozens of these, probably. In the same time, we're still seeing tons of ITPs for different pieces of junk^W software which I really wonder about us needing them. We should maybe reconsider the implicit encouragements we are giving to new applicants to maintain "their" package. We'd probably better encourage them to *adopt* an existing package and rank these by order of priority or popcon score. Stop having that damn archive growing and expand the outbounds of the Debian galaxy. We'd better take care of the inside black hole. [/bubulle/planet-debian] permanent link |
