What I'm feeling quite uneasy with is the fact that we now have two distributions: hipster that gets more recent software packages & security fixes and dev that is said to be the more (or only?) stable choice. Or in other words: choose stability _OR_ security - a no-win-situation.
How can we get past this? Either with a well defined approach for staging packages from hipster to dev or by providing a bullet-proof list of steps on how to upgrade packages in dev directly, similar to http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Building+with+oi-userland but for dev, not hipster. Or am I missing an important aspect here? Cheers Stefan ________________________________________ Von: Nikola M [minik...@gmail.com] Gesendet: Montag, 16.

Please post below quotes on public mailing list. Actually hipster is verly lively and very easily goes where You want it to go. If You try to contribute to it, not only using it every day and testing it, but posting bug reports, ideas, articles, porting requests and porting packages and fixing existing bugs without making new ones, it can totally work your way. It needs investment of your time and knowledge and expending it, like every free software OS distribution, and including yourself and more people in the process actually makes sure if works as expected fro you. If you upgrade to it or do fresh install and update, start using it and articulate what you want, everything is possible. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss ----- Acando GmbH, Millerntorplatz 1, 20359 Hamburg, Germany | Geschäftsführer: Guido Ahle | Amtsgericht Hamburg, HRB 76048 | USt-IdNr.: DE208833022 _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
