Hi, A week ago Ulrich Drepper (Red Hat) wrote the following:
------------8<------------8<------------8<-------------8<------------ Do you still think the LSB has some value? There are still people out there who think that the LSB has any value. This just means they buy into the advertisement of the people who have monetary benefits from the existence of the "specification", they don't do any research, and they generally don't understand ABI issues. ------------8<------------8<------------8<-------------8<------------ The whole article can be read here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/udrepper/8511.html The article looks very sane to me and I'm a bit worried about the following: LSB Version 3.0 Runtime Environment Product Standard for IA32 SUSE Linux 10: http://www.opengroup.org/lsb/cert/display_product.tpl?CALLER=cert_prodlist.tpl&_pr_id=564 How did SUSE Linux 10 "survive" the LSB 3.0 tests? I hope it's not just "we did al the tests on a slow machine and then all results were correct". I hope OpenSUSE is not only about marketing (LSB 3.0 compliant). My background: I'm a software developper, started with SLS in 1993, used Red Hat for a long time and totally switched to SUSE when my current daily work involved SUSE (still 8.1 as of now, upgrade in the works).
