Follow the Debian 8 "Jessie" Release Activity in Realtime

Aroused For Debian 8 "Jessie" reports:

Debian 8 "Jessie" was released on 25 Apr. A link to the Debian release page shows the changes and you can follow the release in 'real-time' should you desire to do so.

This release will be supported for 5 years and includes "improvements" to the UEFI software (both 32- and 64-bit) introduced in the previous version, "Wheezy". It also is the first release to use systemd as default init system replacing the earlier sysvinit, which is still available in the repos should you wish to revert the change. What effects such a change might have on the remainder of the system is not clear. Improvements to the support of Debian software include the ability to browse and search all source code distributed in the latest release.

    Apply strict show of merit and contribution before joining. And eject anyone starting irrelevant issues?
    Of course that requires the community to apply these rules. So how do they (SJW) get on board to begin with?

    Another approach is to continuously fork the community ;-)

    They always turn these rules against those doing the work so as to eject them.

    What would happen is the SJWs would join, do nothing or something easy like packaging software into .ar archive (called .deb s these days), then when these rules are added, they
    would point out the men doing the programing have actual social opinions on things, and then have those men banned because they broke the rule of "merit only".

    Opensource worked when there were no rules, no gatekeepers, no working on OSS just to pad CVs etc.
