Theme that won the contest is absolutely revolting. As already said by other members of this community: 'What were you thinking?!'
I downgraded to 5.0.6 desktop-base and made sure to:
Code: Select all
echo "desktop-base hold" | dpkg --set-selections

Let's not forget that do-ocracy is the default decision making device in
Debian: who does the work, gets to decide. A nice feature of do-ocracy
is that it is very easy to get an opportunity to decide: just do the

I'm confident that everybody which is now unhappy on how the decision
has been made will be there for Wheezy, helping out -desktop starting
from day 1 of the development cycle. Of course input from everyone is
welcome also on how similar matters should be decided *in the future*,
but I believe comments should be better postponed past Squeeze release,
when we will all be way more relaxed and in planning mode.
Cheers.
Success of the open source phenomena was based on the bazaar principles: work of what started as a small base of hackers received tremendous feedback from everybody that got in contact with the code these hackers produced. This feedback enabled prompt responses, bug fixes, new features added and a vast increase of base programmers that did the work on FOSS projects, making it thrive in the realm of world wide web.canci wrote:It's still in Sid (lol, almost wrote Squid. That's when you mix packages, right? ).
Here is some "consensus" from the Debian mailing list about the decision making process:

pain because you have cancer and cannot contribute to theme creation,
then no1 gives a rat's behind what you think about it. Neat, eh?
Debian is a do-ocracy...
