They did, but out of all this design by committee, hidden between all the political bullshit and bikeshedding, they also created the most brilliant, most comprehensive set of standards for quality control, package uniformity, license auditing, and of course. the most robust dependency management, at least among binary distributions.
And their package management features: - no way to have several versions of the same package installed on your machine - no atomic upgrades for single binary packages: if you have stuff running during an upgrade, things can break. - no possibility to rollback. I'm sure there's a lot of good to say about the way Debian does things, but quality of their package management isn't a part of it. When you're running production servers and need reliability when upgrading software, you just can't use Debian. And that is sad. -- Laurent _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
