Gentoo Developers Unhappy, Fork udev

[funkSTAR]

I couldn't agree more. Udev should be its own project. Period.

Then you find some more people who wants to deal with the extra maintenance burden. Period.

And no. Counting the angry hipster-forkster mob helps nothing. They are busy being AGILE!

Btw spend some time reading about Gregs many points in said thread. This hipster-fork is a complete joke.

Seriously, Godwin's law should be extended to also cover that ridiculous 'Lennart is evil argument'. This is a clear case of untalented people driven by Lennart hate. Want proof?

How low is that!?

And yes; Doing dead on arrival forks fuelled by pure hate IS the open source version of the hipster movement. Any teen can do it, crapy or not, you WILL get moronix fame.

Holy crap, you're annoying.........

Forking is an essential part of the free software ecosystem, cathedral-like "my way or the highway" isn't.

There are legitimate reasons for many people to stay off systemd at this time. At least wait for the guys to release a few versions before passing your well-informed "judgement".

Forking is fine. Angry hipsters stripping the original developers' copyright notice is NOT. I dont need any releases when such stupidity hits the tree. Unnecessary, unethical and borderline unlawful.

I'm OK with the fork.

I just don't get all the systemd fanboyism... Some people don't need to get rude because their project is being forked; it gives users more choice, and that's a good thing, especially in the free software world.
I think Red Hat is kind of trying to take over the whole GNU/Linux ecosystem, with their all-in-one solution (systemd + Gnome, all over the linux kernel), and I'm not buying it.

All I gotta say is if systemd is so superior to everything else, it'll just beat the competition; I don't know why some are scared by the fork to the point they have to make it look pathetic with no real argument, unless they're scared systemd will just go back to dust because of it...

Red Hat as a company doesn't really care. RH developers aren't like Canonical devs, we don't just do the whims of the billionaire CEO, we are pretty much left to ourselves to decide directions for whatever project we are involved in at whatever level.

Like I can't see what you think system/gnome is any different from upstart/unity, or any combination of projects from any company.

I'm sorry, but you shouldn't take it personal (and then blame Canonical...).
I don't like either approach; I think it's a problem when too few people are providing too many critical components, it gives them way too much power... providing a project like udev, and then have it merged with an another project is bad attitude; maybe it forced some distributions to switch to systemd?
The problem is in your last sentence: Linux and all related projects should be community projects, not guided by some company's agenda, whatever the company is.

People saying negative things about it are not the average phoronix forum member/systemd fanboys/Lennart worshipers etc. They are top end kernel hackers and maintainers. Like it or not their opinion holds more weight.
