Re: Comments on GNOME Foundation?
In my humble opinion (and with the disclaimer that I work for IBM now on
linux, and have friends at helix), I think it's outside the scope. We
said the entire time that the LSB is about getting BINARIES running on
the different linux distributions. Namely ISV produced software. They
are not ignoring it, as in reality it could make their life much easier.
Currently helix has to make a version of helix-gnome for each platform
they want it to work on. If they could just make it for the "lsb" platform
it could make their life easier. So, the gnome foundation is fairly
orthogonal to the LSB. If someone wants to write a gnome app that runs on
mutliple distributions they have to rely on something like "helix-gnome"
aka a standard release AND the lsb. Samething similiar would probably
have to happen with KDE in the future.
