Star Ubuntu Man Shuttleworth Dissects Hardy Heron's Arrival
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 23rd Apr 2008 07:28 UTC
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu Tomorrow, Ubuntu's second 'long-term support' release, 8.04 or Hardy Heron, will propagate its way through the list of mirrors. OSNews took a short look at the beta release of Hardy Heron a few weeks ago, and concluded that "All in all, this release packs some interesting new features and frameworks, some of which should have been part of any Linux distribution three years ago. It is quite clearly a beta though, and definitely not ready yet to be labeled as a 'long term support' release." In anticipation of the release, El Reg caught up with Mark Shuttleworth in London.

Now, what about unifying package management too? Would the RPM distros be willing to drop YUM, URPMI, YAST and switch to deb/APT? Again, I'm afraid that's asking too much, but who knows, maybe some day... ;)


I am also very interested in seeing all the package management getting unified, but when even the same damn format is so dependent on the individual distro its no point. Like ubuntu debs being ubuntu specific and will not necessarily work on other distros that use debs...

I like the way Mac OS X has solved packet management though...
