• [^] # 9 et non 8.1

    Posté par . En réponse à la dépêche Accord entre Red Hat et HP-Compaq. Évalué à 8.

    On croyait que la beta phoebe cachait la futur 8.1. Raté, c'est la 9 (sans .0). Sortir une .0 (la 8.0) sans que la suivant soit une .1 c'est un peu con. Moi qui attendait la prochaine .2 pour avoir un système solide... La redhat enterprise, fait son nid (un gros nid). La politique de version de la redhat linux change. Explications d'un employé Redhat : Matt Wilson https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/phoebe-list/2003-March/004919.html "But there's something a bit more fundamental that I want people to be aware of. In the past we would never have tackled something as massive and invasive as a new threads implementation just after a ".0" release (in this case, 8.0). We were able to do this, and bring this great new technology to a mass audience, because we've changed the way we consider technology to incorporate in Red Hat Linux. In the past we would have felt it necessary to wait a while for a ".0" release because we had to support a series of releases for years." ... "One example of this sort of thing that caused a lot of negative feedback in the past was the delayed incorporation of Python 2.0 in the Red Hat Linux 7.x series. In the new model we would be able to get the new releases of major subsystems like Python in the distribution as soon as they have been proven stable."
