Re: What are the release dates of Ubuntu 8.10.x
2008/11/30 Francesco Fumanti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I assumed that every Ubuntu release had stable version updates like > GNOME. Thanks for telling me that it is only the case for the LTS releases. They have, but they are downloaded and installed when you update your system after installing it. There are only new versions of the CD for LTS versions, as they are used for more time and so the amount of stable release updates is usually more huge than for other versions (so updated CDs are provided from time to time so that if you install from there you don't need to download that much updates after that).

For packages in main repositories, all program > translations for one language are grouped in a single support package This doesn't make sense. "thunderbird-locale" is a separate package, so your answer hasn't anything to do with the original question. About English being installed by default, I am not sure but aren't the strings in the original language already available in the binary files themselves (eg, isn't it those which you see when using LANG=C)? -- Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals (RainCT) Ubuntu Developer.

Thus I wonder whether it is allowed to also update the files > that did not change from LGPL 2 to LGPL 3. Yeah, sure (assuming that you own the copyright of the files or that their license includes the "or later"). But the change won't have any real effect until the files change (since people can still get them from an older tarball / branch checkout where they still were LGPL 2). -- Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals (RainCT) Free Software Developer 363DEAE3 -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: Updating from LGPL 2 to LGPL 3
2010/8/8 Henrik Johansson : > I remember some such discussion about the kernel license a while back > and that seemed to be the consensus. The problem with Linux's (kernel) license is that it is "GPL version 2", not "GPL version 2 *or later*" (like most project, and in which case no permission is required from anyone to use/distribute it as GPLv3+, since it already is). Because the license doesn't include the "or later" fragment, permission from all copyright holders is required to change the license. Now the big problem is that many people who contributed to the Linux kernel are no longer reachable to give their consent to the change. I've recently read somewhere that now Linus is encouraging new contributors to include a sentence in their license header authorizing either himself or another prominent kernel developer (at their choice) to change the license to a later GPL version, to reduce this problem for new code changes. I hope this helps. And, IANAL.

Re: ondemand vs conservative
Hey, Google gives me this: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Dynamic_Frequency_Scaling "The ondemand (available since 2.6.10) and conservative (since 2.6.12) are governors based on in kernel implementations of CPU scaling algorithms: they scale the CPU frequencies according to the needs (like does the userspace frequency scaling daemons, but in kernel). They differs in the way they scale up and down. The ondemand governor switches to the highest frequency immediately when there is load, while the conservative governor increases frequency step by step. Likewise they behave the other way round for stepping down frequency when the CPU is idle. The conservative governor is good for battery powered environments on AMD64 (but may not work on older ThinkPads like the T21). Ondemand may not work on older laptops without Enhanced SpeedStep due to latency reasons. Anyway, for recent enough Intel CPU, ondemand is the one recommended for power efficiency (over userspace, and even over "powersave") by the Intel's kernel developer Arjan van de Ven" -- Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals (RainCT) Free Software Developer 363DEAE3 -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: Ubuntu should move all binaries to /usr/bin/
Hi, 2011/11/1 nick rundy : > And one thing Windows does well is make it > easy to find an executable file (i.e., it's in C:\Program Files\). This is a joke, right? > Finding > an executable file in Ubuntu is frustrating & lacks organization that makes > sense to users. You may find the "whereis" command useful. Eg., | $ whereis gedit | gedit: /usr/bin/gedit /usr/lib/gedit /usr/share/gedit /usr/share/man/man1/gedit.1.gz Most (99.99%) binaries should be in /usr/bin. Some core binaries are in /bin (for technical reasons) and some system administration binaries may be in /sbin (for historical reasons). I'd be happy about an unification here, but as you can see it's not a trivial matter. In case you installed some application manually, it may be in /usr/local/bin or somewhere in /opt. This is so you can separate distribution stuff from other random stuff.
