News from the battlefront
Par jd le jeudi, octobre 19 2006, 12:05 - Debian - Lien permanent
Dear friends and teammate,
I'm writing to you from the front of the guerilla, near the bug tracking system. I don't know if you will receive this message, because the cabal is trying to make us silent. It's rough these days. Our autobuilders are overloaded. We already succeeded in delaying the freeze, but it's getting harder and harder. The opponent is now avoiding our attacks by ignoring them. I hope we will still be able to win, but we may need backup.
Yours faithfully,
Julien

Anyone that starts a "Let's delay Etch" project should be kicked from Debian.
And whoever started the "Let’s release Etch, even with bugs and non-free software" project should be praised, I guess.
thebluesgnr: did you ever read the Debian Social Contract?
I cannot read on the contract something like "our priority is releasing quickly stable releases" but I can read the following: "Our priorities are our users and free software".
The overall quality of the Debian operating system matters more than getting the release out "on time". I am for quality, even if that's not good for people who are getting paid for quite another target.
The Dunk Bank project is a reminder, in a way.
It is strange that you never cared about those bugs for so long, and now they become your first priority just to annoy your adversaries. I guess internal politics is a powerfull motivation
That being said, I hope the Dunk Bank project keep their scripts around. They can later be made into an automated test suite for Debian.
Cheers,
BC
Fight!
