Jordan Hubbard On Next-Generation Packaging
GlobalEcho writes: "Developers associated with Darwin are beginning to think about package management and source building. At issue is whether something like dpkg, RPM or *BSD's ports could suffice, or whether they are all just way too mid-90's. Jordan Hubbard himself (now of Apple) weighed in with his opinions (user and passwd 'archives'). Apparently he thinks it is time for something more advanced, and he gives some ideas about what that might look like. Does anyone else have good ideas?"
Two apple stories in 2 hours!
What's interesting about the slashdot topics page??
I'll give you a hint: Look at the following
Ok, those are all (all of a sudden) iMac/Apple related icons??
Not to mention the already Apple & iMac topics, now there is OS9 and OSX!
Somethin' screwy's going on...
Maybe VA Lin^H^H^HSoftware is going to change their name to VA Machintosh???
Let the conspiracy theories commense!!
Looks like a new apple site is up for slashdot for the "large apple population." What about the "large MS population"? Isn't Apple just as big and bad a corporation as MS?
Wait, I forgot, we are against MS, even if it means supporting a company that won't let "clones" of their machines exist.
Proprietary means one thing if its MS than other stuff...
