[osdcmy-public] build your own Linux or choose form one of the hundreds out there.....

2011-02-14 Terurut Topik Boh Yap
hi,

All this talk about building a Malaysian(?) distro has intrigued me
... so I did a quick search and LWN (Linux World Net) has this list of
distribuitions...

http://lwn.net/Distributions/

some are categorized for specific purposes such for Edu, desktop and server.
There are some such as Linux From Scratch (LFS) which allow to build
your own Linux.

IMHO - building your own Linux is great, and a good learning
experience, but to put it out in the wild and encourage others to use
it, is a very different and great responsibility. It you look at the
above list, many of the distros are not updated regularly (many of
them show last update/release as 2009! - that's 2 years behind). As a
user, will I go for those distros? Probably not. A lot of them could
have started with good intentions or because their creators wanted to
'scratch an itch', but its takes a lot of effort and resources to
continue MAINTAINING a distro. and if your community of
--contributors-- don't reach a critical mass or it does not have some
form of final support, that distro will fail to be maintained and
is just like another vehicle abandoned at the roadside.

Rather I think efforts should be focussed on providing 'localisation'
(credos to the local Debian, Fedora?, Ubuntu? ...etc guys..) and
creating and packaging specialised apps (like a special package for
Malaysian primary schools) for  for the main distros.

This is just my 2 cents worth. I don't mean to discourage, just to make aware.
Like they say: "Let a thousand blossoms bloom"**

PS
** this slogan is chosen with irony: its used by Mao's Cultural
Revolution in China, and had disastrous consequences!

[osdcmy-public] openSUSE buildservice

2011-02-14 Terurut Topik Harisfazillah Jamel
Thanks to Eric for explaining this service. Will try to rebuild OSCC
Packages using this.


-- Forwarded message --

Subject: Your openSUSE buildservice account is active

Hello linuxmalaysia,

your buildservice account is now active. You can create your home project
here:

http://build.opensuse.org/

Please keep following things in mind:

 - The buildservice is still under development. It runs stable meanwhile,
   but we can not guarantee that no errors happen at all.

 - Ask on the mailinglist (opensuse-buildserv...@opensuse.org) if you want to
   create projects outside of your home namespace (home:linuxmalaysia:*)

 - Please search for already existing packages before you create a duplicate.
   It is better to ask to join development instead of doing double work.

Have fun,

The Buildservice Team

Dear Cheok,

I have searched my email and I couldn't found any email from you or anyone
regarding the JStock graphic design request. However, I have read your
sourceforge wiki page and I will put my hands on it when I have free time
soon. Thanks for your interest in my skill.
