Debian systemd maintainer "taking a break"
Re: Debian systemd maintainer "taking a break"
Is the Debian systemd mailing list and bts offline for maintance? Fri Jan 25 2019
Anyone have a link to share like
https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd
or upstreams - if is what you call it?
https://github.com/systemd
or
https://systemd.io/
looks like r/linux is the only place with recent links debain systemd bug reports and other assorted current debian issues.
I just can't find the mailing list or bts for some reason......

^Those links work for me. What are you getting at? And this
LTS stands for "Long Term Support", and it isn't relevant only to Debian. So I don't really know what this:
Please keep the discussion civil and in good spirit, at least. Refer to my "discussion" with H.o.a.S. Or I will ask that this thread be locked.

Re: Debian systemd maintainer "taking a break"
There is no "Debian systemd maillist".
There are only package, bugs and security trackers:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/systemd
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgrepo ... rc=systemd
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tra ... ge/systemd

Re: Debian systemd maintainer "taking a break"
It is all mostly just gossip anyway, is that the same as FUD ?Head_on_a_Stick wrote:Are you completely deluded?llivv wrote:LTS may have outlasted it's duty cycle. since it was originally designed to help users avoid systemd in jessie.
So the "longterm" kernels listed over at https://www.kernel.org/ were designed for jessie? What a load of crap.
Please stop posting this FUD, it's getting really boring...
Is that a threat or a promise ? What was the point in starting a gossip thread to start with ?or I will ask that this thread be locked.
As far as Debian LTS, goes it has nothing to do with systemd, it will continue, and is for LongTermSupport of the stable releases,see:
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
Debian Long Term Support
Debian Long Term Support (LTS) is a project to extend the lifetime of all Debian stable releases to (at least) 5 years. Debian LTS will not be handled by the Debian security team, but by a separate group of volunteers and companies interested in making it a success.

Re: Debian systemd maintainer "taking a break"
One could do some searches, to get answers to this, below is from the first hits on my search, it may be just more gossip, or FUD, but based on what it says, Debian LTS was started before systemd came into the picture ,Please let us all know when and why Debian LTS was started.
http://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/20 ... Debian-LTS
But it is better to read the entire article, this is just a small piece.
=== additional===Despite its reputation as an all-free, counter-cultural collection for hackers, Debian is also quite stable and reliable, which makes it a viable option for many corporate networks. But after many years of Linux in the enterprise, admins have a pretty clear idea of what they want: a system that will operate for several years without requiring an upgrade. Rolling out a new operating system in the enterprise can take many months, and the process is quite complex and prone to complications. Better to make such events as infrequent as possible.
In 2014, the Debian developers woke up and realized the recent trend for Long-Term-Support (LTS) releases had left them behind. Because Debian is not backed by a company that can make money on selling support contracts (like SUSE, Red Hat, and Canonical), they had never gotten around to implementing some form of long-term support.
To get a first hand report as to why Debian LTS was started, perhaps one should ask Raphaël Hertzog, or some of the others involved it starting it.After completing the preparatory work, the then-current Debian 6 "Squeeze" became Debian's first LTS version. Its successor, Debian 7, has a correspondingly long support period: "Wheezy" was released in Spring 2013, and its support does not end until 31 May 2018. Currently, Debian is planning to offer Debian LTS support for the still-current Debian 8 "Jessie." The same applies to Debian 9 "Stretch," which will probably ship in the spring of 2017.
One-Stop Shop
The infrastructure for handling LTS tasks is provided by Freexian [3], a consulting company operated by French Debian Developer Raphaël Hertzog. Hertzog publishes a monthly report on the current status, the tasks taken, and the hours worked by the individual developers. Any developer who receives money for work on Debian LTS is required to submit a report on a monthly basis.
The first official paid work for Debian LTS [4] was completed in July 2014. The report published at the time [5] showed 21 hours for two developers; the following month, the two developers had already contributed 32 hours. Two years later, in September 2016, the figures grew to 152 hours provided by 13 developers [6].

Longterm support as a general principle has nothing to do with systemd, neither does Debian's LTS team, you are full of crap.

Mod, please lock this, this has gone too far off-topic.
Systemd threads are as cancerous as ever.
How about both?Is that a threat or a promise ?

Locking it is the equivalent of censorship and agreement by fiat.

Re: Debian systemd maintainer "taking a break"
Not really , and I don't see what fiat has to do with it. I see it more like putting the lid, or cover on a trash can when it is full, and locking the cover, or lid, is to prevent more trash being dumped in it, and it spilling all over the place.
Of course spammers and spambot writers, operators, all say the same thing,
"Not allowing our spam, is censor ship", Should this forum also allow all of the trash that the spambots,hiding behind their silly VPN's dump in it, ? But in any event, it is entirely up to the moderators , if they feel the topic has become like a overflowing trash can, then by all means, put the lid on and lock it.
By no means is anything censored, because it is sort of like a transparent trash can, everyone can still see what is inside, and read it, but no more gossip , FUD, spam, or other trash can be added.
Removing the posts, or the topic totally, might be a form of censorship, but not really, it would just make it a "cleaner" forum, more dedicated to serious and real technical issues.
Of course, all of the nonsense on this forum really do make it rather entertaining, guess that is why it is so popular.

Re: Debian systemd maintainer "taking a break"
Allright, I'll let it stay as it hasn't been locked yet. But the insults and flame war will not be allowed.HuangLao wrote:Locking it is the equivalent of censorship and agreement by fiat.
In the meantime, the original issue has been solved:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issu ... -455332624
The commit is here:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/comm ... 0eff3bf571
I do hope Michael comes back, because software this complex should have as many skilled maintainers as possible. Systemd has grown in size and complexity equal to the mini-kernel. And to make it more complicated, it tries to do many different things which sometimes don't have much to do with each other
Devs should consider splitting it into various projects, depending on their function.
