It's clear we disagree.
The author put something out there under a free license, Debian benefits by including it in the distribution.
There is no onus on the author whatsoever.
People bitch because it's always Debian from which these problems originate.
Mac OS X - Fine.
FreeBSD - Fine.
RedHat/CentOS - Fine.
SuSE - Fine.
Debian - Commands missing, functionality disabled, misconfigured.
- davidw 16y agoThe author put mongrel out there under a free license, as well as some unnamed gem, and various other things. The gem is not included in Debian. As to the "benefits" of Debian including anything, they certainly aren't pecuniary, but accrue mostly to the end users (or not, in this case). So, if you help Debian fix something, the beneficiaries are ultimately all the users of Debian, not really 'Debian' itself. > Mac OS X - Fine. FreeBSD - Fine. RedHat/CentOS - Fine. SuSE - Fine. Any sufficiently complex system, including every one of the above, has problems. They may differ from Debian's in type, nature and even quantity, but they exist. Including missing commands, disabled functionality, and misconfiguration.
