FWIW, I've been in the game a long time. I understand what rolling release means. In this case it means, sorry if you bought anything in the last 2 years. And really sorry if you care about security.
- caslon 6y agoIf you "care about security" and for some reason refuse to update your system beyond what the live image is, you should instead make your own rootfs. No one who knows what they're doing would boot off of someone else's live image, sans updates, and pretend to be secure, even if the live image was only days old. Not to mention that the old live images worked fine on x86_64 hardware that was new to begin with, since x86_64 is extremely backwards-compatible. But again, the most recent live image is literally days old.
- axaxs 6y agoUm, no. A live image that is two years old is open to every security bug in the last two years. Good luck refuting that logic. If Void had a release recently, great for them. Are you prepared for me to rip apart the security stance of xbps? Lemme know.
- caslon 6y ago> A live image that is two years old is open to every security bug in the last two years. Good luck refuting that logic. Update. The. Live. Image. Takes four seconds. If you care so much, it literally takes zero seconds not to use a live image, and instead bootstrap your system with xbps on another system. You aren't supposed to stay with the live image. There's no "logic" to your post.
- CameronNemo 6y agoYeah let us hear about xbps security.
- dTal 6y ago>If Void had a release recently, great for them Try "if Void had a release recently, egg on my face because I asserted up thread they 'haven't had a release in 2 years.'" You're making wild assertions and changing the subject when called out. What are you trying to accomplish here?
- axaxs 6y agoYeah, I retract my statement. It was my error there, and I apologize. Not going into too much detail, but was following a lot of the drama going on for the past two years and found it odd there wasn't a release in all that time. That said, I shouldn't get worked up or argue about things that aren't my business. I apologize.
- axaxs 6y agoHN won't let me comment reply anymore. So I'll just say, good luck with your awful distro. Hope nobody loses anything important as a result of your hubris.
