The fragile balance between fast and reliable
,----[ Quote ]
| Being a Distro developer, or a packager if
| you prefer, is not always that simple. Many
| people think that our âjobâ is quite
| straight forward. All we need to do is to
| read the INSTALL file and then adapt the
| instructions into an ebuild format and we
| are done. Well it is definitely more than
| that.
|
| [...]
|
| Every time a new version is available, a
| series of tests need to be run to make sure
| we retain a high level of QA in our tree.
| Such tests involve multiple compilations
| with various compilation flags, compilers,
| use flags, etc etc

| Dear Friends, Child advocates, and Free / Open
| Source Software enthusiasts,
|
| Four years ago I founded Kiddix Computing, a
| company dedicated to building safe and friendly
| computing environments for children. This
| mission has been embodied in our core product
| Kiddix, a family-friendly operating system and
| software stack for children. Since our 1.0
| release of Kiddix three years ago we have gained
| users from all over the world, but have been
| developing inside a closed environment. This
| will now be changing...
