Debian Core Consortium Releases First Code

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the more-than-just-words dept.

daria42 writes "It looks like the Debian Common Core Alliance announced a while ago is going to make good on its promises: the project has released its first code this week. The release consists of a base installation of Debian 3.1 with the Linux Standard Base and security updates attached. But the project also looks like it has attracted some criticism from within the Debian developer community - with a spoof Web site having already been set up to poke fun at the Alliance."

    Now UserLinux has died a painful death of disinterest, Bruce Perens has a new toy which he can use to avoid becoming next years recipient of the "Eric S Raymond Memorial Prize for Open Source Irrelevance."

    Altogether now:
    Will the real Bruce Perens please shut up,
    Please shut up
    Please shut up

    While I do agree with you, this is Debian. Unfortunately, Debian has the reputation of being a bunch of elitist assholes and flaming kids. Not that Gentoo's reputation is any better, but at least people just think we're a bunch of ricers and not likely to flame the hell out of anyone who asks us a question. *grin*

    I really hope these kinds of attitudes can change in the future and that some developers (in all camps) can grow the hell up and start acting like adults.
