Hi Tyler, Quoting Tyler Riddle (2014-04-14 18:45:16) > It seems that what the members of the [cloud] team are doing is > creating a blend for the cloud [i.e.] what looks to be Debian/Wheezy > but under the hood contains surprises and being experimented on (from > the user perspective). A Debian Blend is a Debian derivative that aims to become a pure subset of Debian (i.e. a Debian Pure Blend). More info on definitions here: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends#Blend By that definition, it seems your concern is that the cloud team does _not_ produce a Debian Blend, but rather a (non-Blend) derivative. Maybe they agree with that, or maybe they indeed feel that their changes are small tweaks necessary for their use cases. Here in the Blends team we care strongly about the definition of those terms, but do not dictate how or how much a Blend can derive: A Debian Pure Blend is governed by rules, policies and guidelines of Debian itself, but a Debian Blend is, like any other derivative, external to Debian and therefore not (yet) governed by Debian. Hope that helps in your discussions with the cloud team. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
