If Debian, a distro on the lower side of dramatic, calls it disastrous, it's pretty bad.
- regularfry 7y agoDebian is (mostly) low on the drama, but high on the expected package quality. It's not surprising they'd have problems here.
- quicksilver03 7y agoI couldn't disagree more, by looking at how badly Debian dares to diverge on basic packages such as Apache, nginx and exim it's clear to me that they don't care at all about quality.
- regularfry 7y agoDivergence from the upstream isn't a marker for or against quality, as Debian chooses to define it.
