That's pretty terrible.
What makes it worse is that it's built on Debian. Which is the most robusterest thing to upgrade. That's just incompetent. However, if (big "if"?) they track upstream Debian properly, all their APT/dependency-related cons are bullshit. |

I think they just don't want to be bothered with trying to support upgrades.
Sure, it should be painless, but they're telling people they're on their own. Kinda makes sense for a small outfit that doesn't want support-headaches. Cheers, Scott. |

They've dicked around with the packages in their distro and now you can't just type: # apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade ...and expect it to work, like I did for seven consecutive releases of Ubuntu. (I renamed the old sources.list every time. I archived the system before switching, and here's what I've got: 01/04/2006 09:41 266 sources.list.save |
