Hi, Just a talk. But it seems there are more and more patchs in pkgbuilds and this now very difficult to check packages or such things like customize a package for specific needs. At least if patchs would be documented it would be usefull. Anyway I thought that one principle of Arch Linux was simplicity and the less patch as possible. What is the position right now ?
One other point I dislike is the the lack of transparency about upgrade or major changes in architecture like udev, initscripts, hal, kernel that we had in last months. This changes should be coumminicated before the release of the package, and package should be always tested before and put in testing to do it in my opininion. This last point should be for all packages. For example if we take php package we see 5 changes in 10 days and package is always updated in current.... That's shouldn't be... What about people that works with it... Not everybody coule be a tester everyday.... Anyway, archlinux stay the best distribution I've found for now, but I think these points should be solved to my mind. What do you think about it ? - Benoît Webmaster, http://archlinuxfr.org _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
