Hi, everyone! =)
With all this discussion about changes, I'd like to make sure that the UNIX
guru/programmer is represented. I've mentioned this before, and I hate
repetition - BUT - I feel it is important enough that it should be stated
separately so that it is not overlooked. All this discussion about replacing
defaults concerns me that someone might inadvertently break some standards that
they are unfamiliar with. Yes, before anyone says anything, I already know
that Linux does not entirely comply with POSIX standards, and deliberately
breaks it in places.
I just do not want to see any "Linuxisms" and breakage compounded further.
Systemd everywhere is bad enough. When I say that, I am not saying that Systemd breaks
POSIX. It technically doesn't. It does, however, break scripts on occasion; in spite of
arguments by the systemd developers that does not. I'm hoping that Devuan does not make
similar mistakes while moving in a different direction.
I do not think anyone cares WHAT the default changed to is as long as Devuan has vi and
other "old school" tools installed by default to comply with the POSIX standard.
Thanks and have a wonderful day!
T.J.
Hey T.J.
Not Linuxisms, GNUisms. Nano (and Emacs) belongs to GNU, and you
know it: GNU's Not Unix! Do not forget we are talking of GNU/Linux.
Trying to be POSIX-compliant, sure, but GNU nevertheless... a dilemma :-)
Good day.
Didier
