The resignation of Matthew Garrett, one of the most active developers in Debian, has drawn attention to some ongoing issues about how the project operates. Specifically, Garrett's announcement on his blog cites a lack of civility and a slowness in decision-making, and compares Debian unfavorably to Ubuntu, the Debian-derived distribution which is increasingly attracting the efforts of many Debian maintainers.

Yeah.. thats pretty annoying to read debian-heads allways claming that. After using apt-get/synaptic for the last 2 years i really cant see its advantage over Mandrakes urpmi or whatever SUSE, RedHat etc used. I found urpmi much easyer especially when compiling src packages and i miss urpmi and also Mandrake ControlCenter.

"... at least I can get the .deb src package(manually!) and build/install relatively painlessly, unlike RPM based systems...)"
Why do people still say this? What is so hard about "rpmbuild --rebuild foo.src.rpm"?
