-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, three years have come and gone, and the relentless, aggravating march to DKMS continues. The latest victim in the apparent effort to move Debian out of production environments is open-vm-tools, which recently dropped support for m-a.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659735 Daniel Baumann, maintainer of open-vm-source states: > m-a is not really maintained and deprecated too, so no, doesn't > make sense to add it back, sorry. I've searched for discussions on mailing lists or comments on wiki pages where the DKMS design decisions are being made... can't find anything. Is no one driving this bus? I will obviously solve this problem for myself internally, but the fact that I have to seems to mean that no one really cares about production security anymore. There is no way in hell I'd deploy a box to the cloud with compilers. Apparently I'm alone in this. Whatever. I give up. Tony - -- Anthony L.
