> Those are not the only lines of communication for the devel team. LOL. Alot
of the development communication is via those channels plus, email, iirc,
conference calls etc...
I don't know if you're a BLAG developer speaking from experience, or just
some random guy making assumptions about the project. But it makes no
difference. Far as I can tell, BLAG is developed behind closed doors; at the
very least, I can't find any sort of link to a repository on the BLAG website
or forum. Not a problem, but the BLAG project is going to have to accept,
then, that when the last thing they put out was an alpha release a year ago
based on a version of Fedora that's losing upstream support, and their
download page still points to a very old release based on a version of Fedora
that lost support four years ago, it looks like the project is inactive, or
at least not being taken seriously.
> Also, you may find it interesting that Fedora is planning on having LTS
versions as well, which means Blag, would also be LTS.
Great, so we might eventually have a version of BLAG based on a version
Fedora that at least gets security patches for a while. But considering this
is speculation about the future, I don't think it's relevant to the question
of whether the FSF should be linking to BLAG now.
> Considering it is a new team and the nature of the beast (Fedora short
release cycle), I do not think you can compare it to Trisquel yet...
Correct. Trisquel, unlike BLAG, currently has a proper release which gets
security fixes for a few more years, and has a track record of providing new
releases in a timely manner. BLAG only has security that for the next week,
in an alpha release.
> Libre distros. in particular need to support one another, not find reasons
to trash each other.
Don't try to shoot me down with that emotional crap. I never "trashed" BLAG.
I just said that it's in development hell, not fit for any real use, and
shouldn't be recommended by the FSF or anyone else in its current state.
> Blag will find a niche just like Trisquel has, will be most interesting if
they go LTS.
More speculation about the future. Such speculation is completely
meaningless. Currently, BLAG is in a state of development hell. Maybe it will
end, maybe it won't. But in the meantime, neither the FSF nor anybody else
should recommend BLAG to anyone.
