Hi. back in 2011, I gave a talk at Debconf about the value of Debian to people hoping to put together changes across an operating system. I was using my work in Project moonshot as an example; we've been looking at integrating new security services throughout an operating system. Debian has been really great for that because it's easy to modify and easy to add new components, to use it both as a lab environment and a stable system.
Today, with the acceptance of moonshot-gss-eap, we have all our softhware in Debian unstable. There are a few patches to other things running around getting in shape, and lots of polishing and future development. However, I want to take a moment to thank ftpmaster for their hard work over the last month doing the "new" review for the Moonshot suite. Some of the packages were complex and pulled code from a lot of places. In preparing to get all the packaging in shape for submission I talked to a couple of FTP assistants at Debconf this year. I'd always been confused why the new queue processing took so long. As I learned what was involved, I realized that actually given the thorough review that is done, it's amazing that new queue takes as short of a time as it does. I also realized that we get a huge and valuable service out of this work,. It's valuable to our users who care about free software and the DFSG, as well as everyone who cares about making sure that Debian is redistributable and legal. Thanks for all the hard work! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
