I'm affected with this one too ...
... well for short; while playing around with JASSPA MicroEmacs[1], in
fact, i was searching for an old version of microemacs (ue312, for those
ho remember, way back to the late 90').
So i looked in ubuntu's cache for some "ue" occurrences and got this
reference :
"uex - Text, HTML, HEX, PHP, Perl, Java and JavaScript editor"
... He ! FINE ! ... µe got extended ... apt-get install ... (µEmacs ...
- ..."x-tended" ...).
!_*BIG*_! ... ... ... :SHOCK: !!!
not only was the result unexpected, (i expected _µ_E, or at least FREE
software "... in relation with each other ...."[2]), but even worse, i
got confronted for the first time - playing around with linux since
S.u.S.E 5, note the lower "u" ("und" (DE/German)) [3] - to the
*greatest* GARBAGE in software history :
NAG's !?! !
... witch, in my mind contradict in _*ANY POSSIBLE*_ way with philosophy
in _*GENERAL*_ (and *NOT* only with "ubuntu's one")
It should be made _*CLEAR*_ that _*ANY*_ _*shareware*_ repo, in
some/(any ?) debian - "a like" distro _*would*_ have A MAJOR impact !
Would Ubuntu be THAT ONE ? ... Please, NO !
OK, on the other side, it is my and solely fault ... i trusted Canonical enough
to enable it's "partner" repos (and by the way, "restricted" was enabled too
... and still (as on my ubuntu on 12.04.10) ...) but how long for this distro ?
|{ .
In fact, i didn't _really_ check where the "source" was ...
"partner"/"restricted" ... don't really matter ... a single apt-cache
check got me to "pool/partner/u/...." and this is enough, for me, to say
:
NO !
I switched from S.u.S.E (again ;) LOWER "u") to Ubuntu some years ago
and even if i agree that "partnership" *IS* "one" - of many - key to
durable success (as long as, at least, 2 ... can cooperate (corporate ?
... oops ... tell me that im wrong, PLEASE !) );
personally, i REJECT the fact that THIS success could be done on my needs.
Maybe i could have get another vision of that _*GARBAGE*_ on gnu/linux within a
different view, but the /damage/ _*IS DONE*_ !
As conclusion,
i honestly, truly and "whateverly*, ...really..., have to *sincerely* thanks
Canonical for this !
As i, in the the future, gonna _keep_ my critical eye on computing in
every sense ...
