Betreff: Re: [Dng] John Goerzen asks, "Has modern Linux lost its way?"
Perl and TK depreciating / becoming incompatable with code within the "same" stable release.
(Oh and ngcurses got an "update" too, where the routines for writing to a file from curses script dissappeared)
That is unacceptable, insane. TK!
TK is only use for sysadmin type guis, and sometimes configuring a makefile.

(This is why bastille linux "doesn't work" anymore: what the script does is still relevant, but the code it relys on (perl and tk/ncurses) has "rotted": ie intentionally been changed/broken by new assholes)

It should never have "depreciated" features, or removed things.

Our house is being destroyed, ON PURPOSE, beneath us.

Devuan needs to become the rock that linux once was.
It needs to HALT "development".

Nice ;-(

A "nice" systemd feature we recently detected:
The parameters and behaviour of /sbin/shutdown changed. For the first
time in decades.

Wheezy has seen a couple PiTAs of this kind.

You know what's out of date?
Your tone ;-)


VUAs will of course not make such changes if there is no really good
reason, and your example shows again that Debian has lost some of it's way.
