The discussion is approaching this from the wrong point with "keep" and "switch". Moblin seems to be providing the base OS, and Maemo the base UI. Therefore it's Moblin that is being asked to "switch" to deb. --Jaffa 17:49, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
All the "pro Deb" arguments are subjective and childish
- Maemo has the bigger community
- Versus? Moblin? Don't tell that to Intel.
- community infrastructure is based on deb - would be thrown away
- The Moblin infrastructure is being used as it offers more features. If you want a feature list, go to the meego-dev list.
- deb has wider adoption (Ubuntu, Google Chrome OS, Debian)
- So... Mandriva, PCLinuxOS, OpenSuSE, not to mention SuSE EL, Red Hat EL and Fedora is not a "wide adoption" as well? Subjective bullet point that should be removed.
- allows syncing from Debian/ Ubuntu
- Debian isn't the end-all be-all for Linux. There are dozens of distributions that provide valuable patches and experience.
- is used for distributions targetting end users
- And... Mandriva, PCLinuxOS, OpenSuSE, not to mention SuSE EL, Red Hat EL and Fedora don't target end users? Nuts!
- not to throw away experience gained with maemo which is reflected in the packaging
Those scripts and patches can be easily streamlined into an RPM spec. This is an opinion statement, not a factual counter point!
