Re: Debian desktop -situation, proposals for discussion and change. Users point of view.
Steve,
I see main problem with testing that broad platform changes are going
there. That's why things break sometimes there.
That's why I think, that the Stable platform with new desktop software
might be the choice -the new software versions with no platform
dependecies breakage risk.
This is closest to "backports" and "volatile" idea. I wouldn't call it
"backports" however, because that reminds porting some very new software
to some very old platform, and this is not the case. The stable's basic
platform should stay LSB-compliant and "moderately-aged" (supported by
all main software vendors) for the whole length of release cycle. Thus
the new versions of desktop software wouldn't be "backported"; just
compiled against ordinary, stable platform.
I don't know how real the vision is, however it shouldn't be completely
impossible I hope ;-)
Peter
