Fedora Prepares For Xorg Instead of XFree86
ZuperDee writes "I noticed in the development branch of Fedora today that they appear to be in the process of creating new xorg RPMs, and from the looks of the changelogs in those RPMs, it looks like their ultimate plan is to switch from XFree86 to the XOrg Foundation's implementation of X11. Anyone else here think this could signal the beginning of a new trend in Linux distributions, and that XOrg could end up becoming the new de-facto X11 implementation?" (See this earlier story,too.)
People ! I am bulding You are building They are building So ... let's give them the credit for offering alternatives.
The Register may be stupid and generally wrong, but it is good for lines like "Gosling is a good-natured Canadian, and he set about the competition with the same relish that his countrymen have for clubbing baby seals."
What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
Anybody else think Xorg sounds a lot like Zorg?
If I were a CVS developer I'd be really pissed off right now:
> a POS excuse for a revision control system like CVS
Sorry? what happened to good manner? CVS is still the work horse of pretty damn near 100% of all free software projects and God now how many non-free ones. It may have a few issues but it works as advertised and it is still very very useful, pretty much bug free and has been for many years. The CVS issues that Arch is designed to fix don't come up very often in real-world projects with a couple, or even a dozen of developers, and at the moment maybe Arch is stable, maybe it isn't, and it certainly hasn't seen the kind of usage that CVS has, so people may have very good reason not to choose it over CVS.
When you have contributed something of the order of magnitude of usefulness as CVS, maybe you will have a leg to stand on.
In the meantime people have work to do. Good day to you.
