@be Fanatical packaging systems (within reason) strongly assure well-behaved software.

Dependencies are managed. Configurations are preserved. Bugs are tracked and prioritised, including packaging bugs (which can be release-critical). Standards are imposed and enforced (notably for documentation).

Well-packaged software should, of course, be distrubutable by other packaging formats. That's a given. But to say that a packageing format or method can produce well-behaved packages is inverting causality and looking through the wrong end of the telescope.

Good packaging systems prevent and minimise suce effects. Bad software is exposed by virtue of the fact that it cannot comly with good packaging requirements.

I just sent and received calls between my SIP account and landline phone using my #Librem5 and the native Calls application, and it was pretty exciting.

A lot has happened around #CollaboraOnline 🆒

I just learned @calebccff has a Liberapay profile and I'm now buying them a weekly cup of coffee for their awesome work in mainlining #OnePlus devices on #postmarketOS!

A casual reminder that @Framasoft almost exclusively lives on donations.

Do you value their technical work: @peertube, @mobilizon and many smaller contributions to various projects?

Do you value their fantastic social work which encourages citizens and organisations to emancipate themselves from bad actors?

Then you can support their work financially on https://soutenir.framasoft.org/en !
