The vast majority of the tools work the way I'm happy to work. Since deciding, I've made lots of friends in the Debian community and there are lots of things I can do in Debian, even if I'm not as active now as I was in the first couple of years. If you don't use Debian, it's hard to see why you should want to develop it. There's also the question of whether to work in Debian or just work upstream or some combination of the two. I've always done both but basing all my upstream work on Debian. Trying to do one upstream project on multiple platforms is hard unless you have a sufficiently diverse team. Most free software upstream teams are individuals or very small teams. Scratch your own itch. If you like how Debian does things and want something inside Debian fixed, then do the work. If that work is good enough, it can be accepted into Debian. Your work needs to speak for you. Ignore the vocal minority who don't contribute, get the source code and fix stuff - that's how it works. Finally, make your own mind up - don't use my reasons or those of anyone else as the basis for your decision. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
