The Debian apocalypse
I’ve been Debian user since many years ago. I’m proud of Debian in all that years.
This week I started to learn about the pkg-perl team, to try to help in Dancer: and its build dependencies packaging.
All was nicer than never… clever people, helpful people, automated processes, and lot of detail in the work for freedom, quality, licenses and packaging… really really nice. I committed my first 4 dancer related packages upgrade in 2 days, and I was very happy.
Until… I needed a more recent lintian version, it was broken yesterday in SID, so I decided to turn my thinkpad in a mixed testing/sid installation.
Debian is not Debian any more.
Debian WAS Debian, and has been it with high quality and bright, along years.
Nowadays, I don’t know exactly what Debian is… but it is not Debian anymore. And I can’t fight against this issue opening bugs.
Debian is canonical and canonical is Debian. Changes come from ubuntu developers maintaining Debian packages.
