@lazlo.vii You know, it will be much better if you at least try to be polite, right?
@drobbins Back to the topic - if you want to get more and more involved into funtoo dev - isnt it better to have current/dev branch? If you want devs, isnt it a must to have at least dev branch,where they can work with ?!
I mean, some of the major distros release based models have that :
- Debian has unstable/sid -> testing ... -> stable release major/minor releases
- FreeBSD has current -> release -> .. stable
I still don't get it with removing current branch. Do releases, implement whatever process you think its best for you.
But keep the current. Or, explain how it can be done.
About doing smth, well, some do, me included. Small, but here and there.
The question is more about the direction things are going.
We all know release model is much easier than rolling distro. One of the reasons I jumped on Gentoo/long time ago/ then on Funtoo is the rolling model. Some of the others are that its source based, slots, alot of customisation/flags ... etc.
My point is - today you decide to switch from rolling to release, eg no current, just freezed releases. Tomorrow nothing stops you from source based to package/bin oriented ? Maybe Debian clone /one of dozens/ ?
Dont get me wrong. I use funtoo not geeky weekends, where I can spend whole day install/reinstall/fiddle with this or that. My workstation is build on Funtoo. My work depends on Funtoo. If some1 decides to flip a coin and make a decision, when I am not sure about the general direction ...
I can install a Debian/Manjaro in minutes, but I dont want to. I want Funtoo as it was for years - just to have current.
