But the problem is that the ones doing the vetting (i.e. Debian) have given up on making a vettable distribution because the build is so broken.

- mdellabitta 12y agoBut Debian isn't the Debian of Hadoop. Cloudera is. Why should we assume the Debian Foundation is the sole trusted source of every type of software?
- rockdoe 12y agoWhat you are saying makes no sense. And yes, if I'm using Debian and didn't add any PPA or extra sources, then the Debian Foundation IS the sole trusted source of software. And you do that because you know hey won't fuck up the system, which (and that's the whole point of this thread) the others certainly don't. Now Debian is telling you: we see now way to distribute this software and guarantee what you are getting or that it won't fuck up the system. Do you think I'd consider installing that junk?
- mdellabitta 12y agoSo everyone who runs Hadoop is installing junk? Seems like plenty of other companies have been able to build businesses on it without adhering to your Debian-only rules...
