Re: lsb Linux Standard Base
we need much more awareness of the need to standardise the toolchain and some commonly available libraries
LSB is one way, and i find it terrible that its not default as you say
its appalling that, if i want a new version of some particular program, that i cant just download some file from the authors site and execute it.
the author has to provide 100 different packages, or even the source.
some people/companies arent happy to give out the source
their choice should be respected.
we're not forced to use their software after all.
some people in the community will tell you that its a security feature that you can just simply run any old binary you find on the net.
their smoking crack. it just hurts linux.
Re: lsb Linux Standard Base
It looks like it was part of the distrubution during "dapper" release cycle. I don't know why it was dropped. Maybe a dev will supply an answer.
