Patrick J. Volkerding on the Future of Slackware

windrose

On a recent IRC discussion Pat discussed Slackware's future and the restructuring that will happen for Slackware 11. Regarding the removal of Gnome from Slackware, he said: "GNOME is not easy to build into packages, lacks decent documentation to build, and requires many undocumented system changes for things to work 100%".

奇怪，这个附件我用firefox下载不了，也打不开。
其他兄弟试试看，说不定又是论坛的bug

看来是我自己的问题
公司的firefox不行，但家里的可以 :ask

用 cat log.txt |grep volkerdi > newlog.txt 滤掉无关信息，更容易看

其中Pat说的最让我感动的一句话：

<volkerdi>Anyway, part of my problem all these years is that I make my living off Slackware, but just barely eek out out of it. I figured having people volunteer on a project that I make money off would be just a little too guilt-ridden for me.

虽然多年来Pat只能靠Slackware勉强维生，但仍觉得让别人自愿参与他用来挣钱的项目会令他过意不去。

关于新版slackware：

<volkerdi>I'd like to see 10.1 go out fairly soon, with just a couple more bug fixes like a new udev and back up to mdadm-1.8.0, and compiled 2.6.10 kernels (still in /testing).

修改几个bug之后，10.1很快可以放出来，而且在/testing 目录里会有 2.6.10内核。

<unixfool>        volkerdi: heard rumors about gnome getting removed from the slackware distribution...true?
<volkerdi>        unixfool:  Nothing against GNOME, but true.

Pat明确说明新版本里将没有gnome

<volkerdi>        Anyway, I can see the Great Restructuring happening for Slackware 11, but first 10.1 (the last to support a 2.4.x kernel) needs to release so that NPTL and such can come along.

Slackware 11将会有较大变动，将支持NPTL之类特性。10.1将是最后支持2.4.x 内核的版本

<volkerdi>        PAM sucks
<volkerdi>        LDAP also sucks
<volkerdi>        See, things like PAM, Kerberos, LDAP...  these fall into the category of if you try to be a jack of all trades you'll be a master of none.

这说明了为什么Slackware里面没有PAM和LDAP :p

我一直没有换到 debian 的一个原因就是敬仰 Patrick，恩。

心目中第一Debian--第二Slackware.要是Slackware的apt包库再大一些就更好乐。

哪个发型版适合俺，俺就用哪个。要是有一天slackware不适合俺了，俺也就不用他 liao:p
