Rolling release Ubuntu :)Citat:
Ubuntu is moving away from its established six-month-cycle and potentially to a future where software updates land on a daily basis.
Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth told press recently that a move to daily updates would help the popular Linux disto keep pace with an increasingly complex software and platform ecosystem as Ubuntu goes on more devices and syncs up Android and iPhones.
"Today we have a six-month release cycle," Shuttleworth said. "In an internet-oriented world, we need to be able to release something every day.
"That's an area we will put a lot of work into in the next five years. The small steps we are putting in to the Software Center today, they will go further and caster than people might have envisioned in the past."
It seems Shuttleworth is talking about a future where updates to Canonical's Ubuntu code, Ubuntu's other features and software you have purchased or downloaded for free are updated as and when they become available, instead of waiting for the six-month drop.
Jos jedna brilijantna izjava. Kakav marketing... (ajmo aplauz). Reinventing the wheel, najs :) I gle cuda iPhones i Ubuntu u istoj recenici :D
I kad ? Za pet godina, nesto sto moze da se odradi u roku od godinu dana...
Ne kazem, stvarno pametan potez, rolling release je toliko dobar sistem da UBIJA sve ostale (za desktop oriented distroe naravno), al' ja se jedva uzdrzavam od bacanja pegle na ovu izjavu: "The small steps we are putting in to the Software Center today, they will go further and caster than people might have envisioned in the past."
Mali korak za nas a veliki za covecanstvo :)
Ajd sad, za kraj ovog ranta klasicnog, ovo je stvarno dobra vest, mnooogo dobra vest, pa i logicna. Samo ima nesto sto u ovakvim izjavama ne varim dobro :) I naravno ovo nema veze sa ubuntu-om koliko sa izjavama Shuttleworth-a u zadnje vreme. A ovakav potez moze ugroziti distroe kao sto je Arch iz prostog razloga sto za 80% Arch korisnika rolling release i pacman je jedini razlog zadrzavanja na istom. Prednosti pacman-a se mogu anulirati cinjenicom da _svi_ projekti skoro imaju deb pakete.
Sta moze biti problematicno malo ? Pa inertnost koju je pruzao 6-months release cycle je omogucavao da to sve radi kako valja u vecini slucajeva, kada budu udarili po speed-u i kada se API bude menjao cesce videcemo kako ce se snaci i 3rd party package provider-i a i sami ubuntu dev-ovi (mada ovi potonji mislim da nece imati mnogo problema).
make love - !war
