hi group i can understand that big companies like IBM with their subsidary Red Hat (as explained by Ted and Carlos) don't see a need of LSB for their business, as they think they now have establihed good control of the markets they are in, with other tools than LSB.
However, I think there are cases where LSB could be useful: 1. building appstores or repositories that can be used by different Linux distributions, comforming to different levels of LSB, and then populated by different apps devellopers, hopefully including big packages like gnome and kde, and possibly also packagers picking up sources, maybe even debian packagers. In this way even smaller distros could have a large set of packages, and developpers could have one place to address a lot of distros. This could be built for the different architectures including i386, amd64 and arm. 2. security updates iot devices, mobile telephones, tv-sets etc have severe problems with security updates and general updating. LSB could pobably be helping out with this, especially for smaller firms, that have not gotten their own systems. keld _______________________________________________ lsb-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/lsb-discuss
