How do I get to the Debian packages tracker site? Do I need to open a browser?
On a more serious note: you open with "Naah", but then you do go on to describe steps that the author neglected to include in the bullet points. My only point was: the author goes out of their way to make the comparison imbalanced.
- IronBacon 8y agoI was objecting the "Debian workflow is more complex than a forking" part. In reality it's even simpler than what I described (if you don't remove the deb-src lines from your apt source config like I do). If you want to modify a Debian package you only need to use "source" instead of "install" for the package you need, for example "apt source curl" will download the tarball, diff and dsc file for the curl package in the working directory, no browser involved. ^__^; I use the tracker site when I need to build some packages from unstable or experimental, usually recent libraries that I couldn't find on backports.debian.org.
