I actually agree with her here. 2.1 is based on etch, period. All this messing about with Lenny has nothing to do with the currently released version. She actually beat me to it, as I also noticed that the vast majority of the list traffic lately has been Lenny related, with a small number of posters. | | I enforcedly has to upgrade to Lenny and my questions mainly would be | the same for 2.1 and misplaced in the developers list. | It does not really matter _why_ you feel that you need to complicate your install with unstable sources. If the current version is missing features and packages that you would like to see included, then the devel list is the appropriate place to address these concerns and wish-lists. | When I'm asking for a gfx card, the informations might be interesting | for other users too, but not for developers, e.g. the information that | it might be better to buy a new gfx card, instead of a new motherboard | with another integrated graphics, because the shared mainmemory, as | mainmemory and framebuffer, might cause troubles by using Linux as a | DAW, an information that won't be given at "normal" Debian forums. I ask | some questions in "normal" Debian forums, but there seems to be more | differences between Etch or Lenny and a 64 Studio Etch or 64 Studio | Lenny than just the DAW settings that are obvious, like the group audio, | the settings for limits.conf. So if e.g. people with a audio studio need | a safe backup media there are only 2 choices. A hard disc for backups | that will be a little bit unhandy and expensive for the archive in the | rack, or DVDRAM. As a user, I'm not a developer, I think I has to ask | stupid questions about such things in the user list and I might be | forced to update a 2.1 to Lenny. She (and I for that matter) are concerned with traffic that relates to people adding Lenny sources. As far as I am concerned, GFX card discussions are on topic. | If I ask about a theme for Iceweasel or someone ask how to boot without | the bootsplash, this might be misplaced, but as an excuse, I was asking | for a theme, resp. add-on for Iceweasel, because I like to have all | Bookmarks visible in the toolbar. When reading questions in the forums, | people asked where they can get informations about some things, that are | Bookmarks by default, but they sometimes are hidden in the bookmarks | menu. Even a misplaced question might be not misplaced. Iceweasel themes are OT in my opinion, but they could be argued in either direction. | Someone being insecure with Linux like me, seldom is right by using a | developers list. Exceptions are my knowledge about pro audio, e.g. | programming MIDI applications, but also questions about the problems | with making makefiles might be more something that should be asked in a | Jack list for users instead for developers. This can be confusing, even for veterans. Which list, which forum should I post my questions to? I wish I had an easy answer for that. | | The long and the short of it. No, I think at this time Lenny is as | actual as 2.1 for 64 Studio. I might be wrong with political statements This is a contradiction in terms. I am pretty sure I/we covered this earlier. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIWhRRwRXgH3rKGfMRAgiaAKCarycZ+Oxh0KTkw4fIte1dae1XVQCeNhAs d/P5mGWgAQOrtHSoHn5kk/0= =3q46 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
