China's security problematic KylinOS submits packages for inclusion in Debian
- detaro 6y agoCiting an article arguing that KylinOS is "bad" because it would be harder for the US to hack seems like an ... odd ... choice of reference?
- yorwba 6y agoTo top that off Ubutu Kylin is an official Ubuntu flavor https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu%20Kylin https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu%20Kylin and the package in question is specific to their UKUI desktop environment, not something that would be part of a default Debian install. I'm not sure why they want to upstream it to Debian (was Ubuntu Unity upstreamed as well?) but surely it would be harder to backdoor as a Debian package than if it's distributed via their own servers. @DyslexicAtheist, could you explain why you wanted to signal-boost this particular person's opinion on the package? Is there more to the story that we're not seeing here?
