Well, time to quote another commentary done a few days ago. No, not mentioning the source, it is more important what is standing there instead who is saying this:
At times like this we understand and feel for the Hyperbola team attempting to move to OpenBSD (or was it FreeBSD or NetBSD??) and away from Linux, but as you can see part of the disease is transferring to anything craving Graphical User Interface "apps"
Okay, first things first: We are NOT ATTEMPTING to move to OpenBSD. To repeat: Hyperbola IS NOT moving anywhere. We are developing a complete operating-system and BSD-descendant. We are using OpenBSD-parts as base, yes. But that's it. There is no "migration" going on or likewise we are exchanging just some parts. Again: HyperbolaBSD is a BSD-descendaten operating-system, complete in all parts. It has an own kernel and an own userspace. It is NOT NetBSD alone, it is NOT FreeBSD alone and likewise also NOT OpenBSD alone.
Second point: Yes, we are going away from GNU/Linux. But we have communicated that often and repeat it again: HyperbolaBSD is a free, libre operating-system. We plan two repositories for HyperbolaBSD and want to use hyperman as forked pacman for our package-management. So Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre is our transition-base. What we do NOW is what we will do NEXT also. Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre is planned to represent the base in extra also. I repeat again:
core -> changing to full BSD-sphere, including basic userspace, tools, kernel and drivers
extra -> what we have now and making more and more fitting, including also GNU-packages
Third and last: The quote is representing the on-going rejection of reality. So to repeat this again: It is an illusion to think the on-going transfer and rework of free, libre software can anywhere be stopped. No, this is not possible. But what we can do is find a niche, develop independent and follow an ideal. We can also stop and freeze single packages in concrete versions, we can fork them within a bigger focus and community. In short: We can do all of that, when we leave those enforced dependencies behind us. And that is Hyperbola as it meant to be. It is not just "OpenBSD with GNU-parts".
And also as answer to up above, Other_Cody: We are telling friendly every misunderstanding when it gets here or we get a chance like now writing about. It is just that we cannot tell others posting elsewhere, because we have surely not the whole time to search the global network for misunderstandings and we also do not see it as our responsibility to inform others constant. If there are questions: Why not asking them here and clear up? Exactly that's the point of this thread. It would also result within a misconception if we would run behind others to correct and get into touch: Part of emancipation is also to acknowledge that everyone is responsible to ask and read, not others to carry information behind.
Human being in favor with clear principles and so also for freedom in soft- and hardware!
Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices: For a life of every being full with peace and kindness, including diversity and freedom. Capitalism is destroying our minds, the planet itself and the universe in the end!
