debian extensions.

2004-01-26 Thread prasad

Hi,

I have been using a windows pc @ office, but use many open tools on it. 
I have been testing mozilla whenever they used to release new versions. 
But stability  memory hog were a major issue. With Firebird latest 
release (0.7), it shines and matches IE. And when it comes to features, 
one who hasn't seen the extension revolution of mozilla is in for a big 
surprise. It just rocks!!


I think, in linux distro arena, many have started their own variants 
just for having some special feature that they want in their distro. 
Somehow these distros might fulfill that special purpose well, however 
they can't obviously do all that's required for a distro to sustain, 
quite as well as one should.


I have a suggestion. Debian should come up with some way that allows 
people to sort of extend the distro like a mozilla extension.Ok, I know 
the comparison is shaky, these 2 things are quite different, but I guess 
u got the idea.We can prevent the forks, Debian doesn't have any problem 
as maybe RH might have to allow others to rebrand/steal the 
spotlight..., so the people that extend, can get some of the credit.. 
but debian can keep some of the places where the origin can become obvious.
Debian will be immensely benefited, as the effort to produce an 
extension on existing solid distro will be smaller that the full blown 
distro even for something like a floppy/cd based distro.


This will probably require some reorganisation  legal issues of core 
distro  the extension, but it will be worth it!


,regards,
prasad

We already have this; anybody can set up an APT repository and users can
add the appropriate lines to their sources.list, extending the list of
packages available to them.

Isn't that what you're after?

More than 10% responded. AFAIK, that's way more than in any political
survey. On the other hand, the samples in political surveys are
usually better chosen to be representative.

Still, I think a significant number of DDs has responded in order to
make this strawpoll have a meaning.

hmm, look at it this way, what would make people create some sort of 
extension that atttaches to debian, instead of creating/forking an 
existing distro, to create their own specialised thing. for example, 
various CD/floppy based special purpose distros. If this requires, these 
ppl to set up apt repository (which I am not sure will do the trick), 
then this probably needs to be made so easy, that (most of) them would 
never bother to think of their own way. Maybe then we need to persue a 
few of debian inspired forks to move over. But if this sort of thing is 
is easy enough  well publicised, it will at least add a few of new 
efforts starting within the new extensible debian tag.


This will just be the boost that will make debian, what open office,  
mozilla are to their respective categories. Heck, look @ what people r 
doing to google, I am sure you have seen the graphical mapping of 
various search results of google. This seems like how unix filter 
utilities extend the overall power of the system.

I'd like us to put out something like developer snapshots that aren't
quite full releases (specifically, their installation system may not be
ready, and they're allowed to have other weaknesses) but would
nevertheless let third parties build their own releases on top of them.
I haven't really developed the thought much, but there's an upcoming
conference at which I hope to try to thrash out this idea or something
similar.

 This will probably require some reorganisation  legal issues of core 
 distro  the extension, but it will be worth it!

I shouldn't think there would be any legal issues, but it would
certainly require reorganization.

BTW, this shouldn't be on -policy. Redirected to -project only.

I understood the poll as a tool to figure out what would be relevant for
a General Resolution - or a help for our Project Leader to make a

It seems for a possible GR it should be made clear what is meant by
putting on one's personal homepage.

What the heck is the difference? Note that the owner of an email
address is the single person who does not use it; it's used by all the
people who send him mail, and he has little or no control over what

I'm not disputing that there is meaning present.  I am just saying that
the poll did not say that it was going to be used to develop policy, was
not announced in devel-announce, etc.  The meaning the poll has is to
show this feelings of those surveyed.  While those surveyed likely are
the ones that have been most active in the discussion, we cannot
necessarily extrapolate from that set to the developer body as a whole.

It is improper to say from this survey that a majority of developers
support x.  It is proper to say a majority of those surveyed support
x.

Well, yeah, perhaps. FTR, it took me quite some time and several
revisions to figure out the questions as I presented them. I did not
want to pose too much questions, in order to not scare off people right
away. I don't argue that the questions could have been better, but as
you probably noticed this is a sensible subject and I guess somebody
would have always considered the questions suggestive, no matter how
smart they might have been. It's probably an intrinsic problem of the
issue. I agree that more answers would have been useful, though. 

But all that taken into account - majorities of more than 75% are well
beyond your typical signal/noise ratio or sampling error. YMMV.

Like I said, they're random, but if they're audacious enough to send me up

I feel that this is already working quite good - Knoppix, Xandros, and
others making Debian-based distributions. The thing that perhaps is missing
is a user-oriented place where people can read about what Debian variants
are out there.

 I'd like us to put out something like developer snapshots that aren't
 quite full releases (specifically, their installation system may not be
 ready, and they're allowed to have other weaknesses) but would
 nevertheless let third parties build their own releases on top of them.

Hmm. I can't see the benefit of a developer snapshot over a distributor
taking a more or less arbitrary subset of testing at some time - unless
you'd want DDs do some quality assurances of these snapshots (so they are a
good deal better than current testing, which I found to be in a generally
quite good shape). Does Debian have this manpower? Or could these snapshots
help the devel process enough to make it worthwile to allocate the
manpower? Disclaimer: I haven't thought more than 30s about this, so
probably I'm missing a lot of what you were thinking.
