Project Indiana

Post Syndicated from Lennart Poettering original https://0pointer.net/blog/projects/project-indiana.html

Dear Sun Microsystems,

I wonder if the mythical “Project Indiana” consists of patches
like these
which among other strange things make the Avahi daemon just a frontend to the Apple
Bonjour
daemon. Given that Avahi is a superset of
Bonjour in both functionality and API this is just so ridiculuous —
I haven’t seen such a monstrous crack in quite a while.

Sun, you don’t get it, do you? That way you will only reach the
crappiness, bugginess and brokeness of Windows, not the power and
usability of Linux.

Oh, and please rename that “fork” of Avahi to something completely
different — because it actually is exactly that: something completely
different than Avahi.

Love,

     Lennart
