| nietz | I know there has been significant discussion about the why and how of usrmerge, but I have a thought that doesn't seem to have come up | 15:41 |
|---|---|---|
| nietz | I first used Debian as the "universal operating system", so does it follow that the OS team is doing something with the case for greater compatibility? (whether accurate or not) | 15:43 |
| nietz | that is, something in line with a universal operating system approach | 15:44 |
| DelTomix | nietz: no - it doesn't enhance compatibility in any way, and in fact it breaks compatibility enormously with anything a long history of unmerged software. I don't think today's Debian decision makers remember what Debian was in the first place. | 15:52 |
| DelTomix | s/anything// | 15:53 |
| nietz | please dont misunderstand me, I was not making an argument for or against what it will do | 16:06 |
| nietz | just wondering if it could "make sense" to other devs in this way... trying to understand both points of view | 16:07 |
| DelTomix | all good! | 16:11 |
| golinux | Nonsensical things make sense to nonsensical humans all the time. :) | 16:11 |
| mason | nietz: It doesn't really make sense to anyone, honestly. It's sort of a "loyalty test" to flex and test the control exerted by a subset of Debian developers. | 16:29 |
| mason | Our best hope is that the damage it causes is limited. | 16:29 |
| mason | Ironically, it's mostly driven by Microsoft employees now. | 16:30 |
| nietz | seems like we are forgetting community first. this is disappointing. | 18:52 |
| golinux | Please define "community" which is made up of diverse individuals. | 19:15 |
| golinux | Devuan is the most cohesive and intelligent community that I have encountered in 81 yeas.community. I had about given up hope that it existed . . . | 19:18 |
| golinux | yeas.community > years | 19:18 |
| golinux | It has been one of the greatest gifts of this life to be a part of it. | 19:19 |
| golinux | And to work with the amazing individuals here. | 19:20 |
| golinux | <nietz> ^ ^ ^ | 19:33 |
