Re: Paths into Debian

Hi Jose,

Quoting Jose Luis Rivas (2013-08-24 02:34:28)
 I think we have missed opportunities to bring more people into Debian 
 like not taking enough attention into support Raspberry Pi. [snip]

That may seem a constructive point, but please read 
https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi before continuing.


 As well as not adapting easily enough to how other people does stuff. 
 We all love APT, but is not the only way to do stuff. Some communities 
 like the Node.js handles their own packages in a different way [snip]

Debian includes a slew of local package managers, for users wanting 
Debian only as core system, with different package management on top.

I suspect your issues with Node.js instead are tied to Node.js and NPM 
not shipped with Wheezy and lacking behind even in testing/unstable. 
Those issues are IMO off topic for this thread.

I got that. And I think you did too. Thousands of hackers are using it
and if Raspbian has been so easy to get into it, why not Debian
directly? We are in need of more contributors, after all. And there
are more chances of getting someone to code something into Debian if
they are using a Raspberry than an x86. We should support them.

Indeed, they are and as you suspected.
