I agree 100% consensus is not attainable. My thoughts are along the lines that in any such discussion the majority of people (maintainers) will not voice their opinion. This should be interpreted as, they don't care about this particular topic, from my point of view. Those that make an effort to respond, care, and it should be possible to find majority consensus among those. For this specific issue I don't think we have reached majority consensus yet.
Well, it's pretty cumbersome to count voices in a mail thread. By counting manually I get this:
- Eight people commented, asked questions or discussed something else where I couldn't identify a clear pro or con. - Sascha does not seem to be against the proposal as long as the review team is not bothered and there are exceptions possible. - Christian and Robert are against it but for different reasons.
I am not opposed to the solution per se, I am opposed of inventing a solution without seeking consensus across distributions and am willing to put in the work to seek the consensus, thus I am pushing the route via the LSB working group.
If no distribution consensus can be found I agree that we should solve the issue and eliminate the potential security problem with overlapping names.
Ok, so let's postpone and revisit the issue in a few weeks to see what the outcome on LSB side is.
So, two months later there doesn't seem to be any progress on github. What is necessary to get this approved?
So basically I am the stick in the mud. There was a request for comment on the LSB list, which I had sent. And a couple of people replied. One person from Debian, mostly positive as this very much reflects what's being done in Debian already. The other response was from the Linux From Scratch project and I have not had the time to digest, respond to that. The next steps are digest/respond to the LFS comments, then solicit the proposal here, with Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu to see wht happens. Given that every time I appear to be seeing the light of day some stupid ass issue blows up that takes days out of my life I am not certain when I will get back to this, sorry.
