Adrian, I need to correct some sentences, right here.
you said "They are dropping the official support for Linux in future." R:No, it isn't definitive, and they can turn back. They was thinking to do the same strategy from Google when they created the google chrome (first they build a google chrome for windows, second for mac and for third for Linux) Debian don't need to do a Songbird's Fork Fork is unnecessary. They will keep the Linux version. Now they need a place with many developers to contribute with the project. Debian and Ubuntu are best place for it, and we need approve it... look what they have said: *UPDATED 4/5/2010 @ 2:22 pm PST* To those who voiced their disappointment and retained a civil tone, we empathize with you. We appreciate all of the passion from the community, we again want to re-iterate that this was a very tough decision for us. We want to clarify a couple of points: - Songbird remains open source. The code is mirrored from our working tree and available at http://publicsvn.songbirdnest.com/ - We are maintaining our Linux build infrastructure and will ensure that it continues to compile and run the unit-test suite. http://buildbot.songbirdnest.com/ - Nightly Linux builds will remain available at http://developer.songbirdnest.com/builds/trunk/latest/ - We have in house developers that use Linux every day and they will keep developing Songbird on Linux.
