Debian and it's release cycles :) Wouldn't it be better to decouple
distribution releases from applications like
QMapShack? Just having a build farm that creates binary for a certain history
of Debian releases?
I have to admit that it's much better today than it had been a few years ago.
Ubuntu drove me nuts as
Debian was shipping with really historical versions of QLandkarte GT and I had
to deal with bug report solved
more than a year. That madness stopped at a certain point. Not sure if that
stopped because there was a
change in Debian/Ubuntu or it became a fact that I was reacting quite badly on
such reports. ;)
With QMapShack I can't complain so far. On the one hand side it's still not
that known. I have ~100
downloads a day for QLGT, and that is without the distributions. It's 100-200
downloads a week for
QMapShack. But anyway, I do not get bug reports due to out dated versions. And
that is really nice.
Probably due to your excellent work, Bas. I really appreciate that.
But still I do not understand why an outdated version is shipped. Wouldn't it
be better to ship the core
system and provide a source to get recent versions of applications with a much
faster production cycle?
I do not want to say that SuSE is doing everything well (still no binary for
QMapShack! I send you Lrrr - ruler
of the planet omicron persei eight!). They do not ship software like mine on
their DVD image. However you
can go to their webpage and install it quite easily via one click install. (But
outdated version for QLGT! Die
earthlings!) I think that makes much more sense, from the user's point of view.
