Re: Arch needs a hit. Everyone this way!

Oh brother. Here we go again.  roll  roll

Zephirias, back me up. Tell them this doesn't need discussing!

http://dragon.archlinux.org/~dusty/devland.html

The devs are *not* going to put everything into testing first, and they do *not* want to increase the number of repositories.

Major packages go into testing. If you want arch to act like Debian... finish the sentence.

Re: Arch needs a hit. Everyone this way!

Hey..Dusty!
That's looks nice. I havn't read it all yet, but I will check it out in the evening.
Good to see that the devs are actually doing something.
Not quiet sure if I get the message  right ,but I should try to keep my mouth shut for a while. :shock: it's going to be tough though.

ps: I wonder if it's going to be a canadian or a US victory in Stanley Cup?   
Flames could take it,after all, Canada invented hockey.

ps2:WTF is prairie logic?

I know how that goes. wink The hardest part is knowing when to talk and when to keep shut....

Yeah, but all the Canadian hockey players play for American teams. sad
but also... all the best players are Canadian. smile (As per Olympic hockey!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted: )

Wish Sarah was here. sad

It's the type of logic that justifies living through 6 months of painfully hot drought and 6 months of painfully cold blizzard and 12 months of gale-force winds each year...

Re: Arch needs a hit. Everyone this way!

Dusty, I am backing you up here. I mean, there's not much that really needs to be worked on with Arch at the moment IMO, except for what I feel is most important: the desktop. If we can just start to get some better desktop support for the system without making it too user-friendly, we've hit money. Or, how about we just make a potentially user-friendly distro that is "geeky" by default? Remember, we're still only on version 0.6 currently...but as we're working towards 1.0, we do need to start to get some solid goals going.

Either better dektop support, or more games tongue With these, Arch is going to rock yikes

i would have beat you severely for that if i was still working on arch.  i know that several of the devs are very active. i mean really if you don't think they are then just don't update for a few weeks and see.

want me to be honest? most of the players on both teams will likely be Canadian. but to me that does not really matter. i want calgary or tampa bay to win because they show signs of being real hockey teams like the dynasties of  NY Islanders, Pittsburg, Edmonton, and Montreal. It has been a really long time since i watched some hockey and actually sawe glimmers of authentically talented players. Shane Donovan is awesome, Conry is one of the most impressive centers i have ever seen. Calgary has speed and skill. I don't see alot of hack and chopping with the stick, clutching and grabbing, or absolutely zero passing skills. It was like the league was in a void of talent for about eight or nine years (with the exception of some detroit and colorado players). The only other displays of teamwork came from the much hated New Jersey. I would love to see Calgary win but in the end i really don't care because generally hockey suck a huge amount of ass anyway.

ps2:WTF is prairie logic?

well there is logic and then there is prairie logic. prairie refers to the southern manitoba, alberta, and saskatchewan.  logic in this area is rather .... different. In fact it can even defy logic. For example your common prairie farmer loves to complain about virtually everything especially how hard done by the government they are. but in the same breath they will "spend" another 100,000 to buy the newest field toy or replace all their 2003 pick ups with 2004 pickups.  basically prairie logic often only will be logical on the prairies.

Specifically, on a good year you buy a field toy, on a bad year you buy a truck.

Re: Arch needs a hit. Everyone this way!

Thanks sarah31 and Dusty for exceptionally good descriptions of prairie logic. That one woud work in Sweden also but I don't know if we got a name for it. We also got farmers complaining about the weather and government all day long even though they all got tractors that are so big so they almost force you  off the road when you meet one.
Prairie logic beats normal logic, if I get it right.

If weather is windy and freezy.
Normal logic say: I'm going to freese.
Prairie logic say: Bah bah bah

I just love when naughty women talk dirty. But maybe it's best for our relation to keep the distance as it is right now.
I must also admit that things are looking pretty good for arch but it won't hurt with a kick in the butt once in a while.

no offense meant - i do not try to harass anybody here ... you know: people on the internet are not real, so there is no point in trying to harass any virtuals :-) [of course, when someone passes basel, and visits me, then we can speak more real-life-way and this person would not be any longer virtual in communication for me]

mixing business with pleasure is a difficult but very interesting thing - and i really like doing interesting things --- especially when girls are involved in :-)

Re: Arch needs a hit. Everyone this way!

First, let me say something that has become very clear reading this forum, You all are weird!  lol

That said, Arch IS very stable if you only use the Release repository.  If you use Current, Unstable and Testing (as I do), your system is pretty much bleeding edge.  If people would only take the time to RTFM and look the abundance of information on/about Arch Linux, they would be much happier.  The problem with having your system bleeding edge is that sometimes it does "bleed" from minor/major wounds in pkgs, depends issues, etc.  As a newbie who has only been working with Linux since January and Arch since February (of this year), I think Arch is one of the strongest and most up to date distros out there.  The Dev's, TU's and users who contribute to Arch are what make it so strong.  So Judd and co., you all keep up the good work!

Re: Arch needs a hit. Everyone this way!

I have had some problems with it under my time using Arch, roughly around  7 months.

I think as Lovechild stated that we need to have a release cycle and that we have some "testing" days before packages come out in some sort of a stable state. I think that if we could do that we could iron out some more bugs that people discover.

Arch is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool...  hehe...

I think everything should stay how it is, and we should just sit back, relax, and enjoy some first class Digitally Imported Hardcore European Trance!

If anyone really needs a problem to solve, you could always find me a way to make cheese with my PC... wink
