Many users are afraid to try other distros because they are +</I>><i> accustomed to Ubuntu and many remasters are Ubuntu or Debian based. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> We also know that RPM-based distros are not anything DEB-based distros and often +</I>><i> are more stable and faster. URPMI is incomparably superior to apt-get. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> The four major community-driven RPM-based distros nowadays are: Mageia, +</I>><i> OpenSuse, Fedora and PCLinuxOS. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> All these distros can work together to promote the use of RPM distros and help +</I>><i> in their own developments. +</I> +It is already the case. For example, during Libre Software Meeting in +Bordeaux, we ( AUFML, french user group of Mandriva ) shared a booth and +helped each others on logistic issues with Fedora-fr and Opensuse. +Ie we managed to keep the booth when others were eating, going to +conferences, we shared boxes and so on. + +And that's not limited to rpm distribution, I see the same kind of help +from Debian, Ubuntu, etc. + +><i> Even though the development team mageia is busy with the roadmap of development, +</I>><i> I would propose the creation of... +</I>><i> +</I>><i> T H E [ R E D ] A L L I A N C E +</I>><i> +</I>><i> ... which would be a global network where developers and users of these +</I>><i> distributions could exchange knowledge and information and share resources to +</I>><i> assist in developing mutual their distros. +</I> +We already do that. +We do share patches with others distributions ( they all are on the web, +and packagers often check them ), we push our fix upstream so everybody +benefit from this, and all specs files are published. And there is open +bugtracker, open code. + +Sure, we can improve, and for example, there is work going on like +Sophie indexing spec file, work like systemd to push initscripts +upstream, work on freedesktop for menus files, etc. + +There is mailing lists for discussion on freedesktop.org, and packagers +often know others packagers, and participate to conferences, etc. For +example, colin went to opensuse conference, I went to fudcon in zurich, +etc ( and almost went to UDS in Bruxelles ). + +><i> Today we know that a RPM developed for OpenSuse may not work properly in Fedora. +</I>><i> With the Red Alliance, we could create a common development basis, through which +</I>><i> could enhance the compatibility and interoperability of programs developed for +</I>><i> these distros with the establishment of common guidelines and further increase +</I>><i> market share and convince users that they will feel at home. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> The goal is not to merge all the distros, but work together. The idea should be +</I>><i> further developed, but this seems an appropriate way. +</I> +Well, more precisely, what do you have in mind ? + +-- +Michael Scherer + +</PRE> + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003765.html">[Mageia-discuss] Attention, please +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003764.html">[Mageia-discuss] Attention, please +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3760">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3760">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3760">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3760">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
