The way it works for Debian packaging is that they usually have their own copy of the project's source code (what they call upstream ). So the packaging process does start from the actual, original source code repo of the upstream pro

As a software maintainer myself, I believe the downstream distro maintainer is the one being wrong there. You have a software project, with a build process, and the "output" or final product of that project is the library that get

As a developer who only works on Linux systems, how is the dev story for C#? I guess Mono is still a thing, and that's the runtime that C# projects use to run, right? I've always felt that C# felt a bit out of place when not in a

The HD Edition from Ubisoft looks definitely better, I think it's not even subjective. Just look at that clock tower on the upper-left quarter, the hd mod is not even in the same league. Same with details like the main character, trees

My experience in Europe is that some low-end places (especially apartments) gave me a phone number or even a card with contact details, and told me to call them directly next time so I could save the Booking fee. Makes sense: remove the mid

I learned from calling that hotels have a set of rooms that are reserved exclusively for Booking. So they might tell you no availability at this time, but Booking showing that they have "only 2 rooms left in this place".
