The future of MySQL Open Source is complicated

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”43″>Oracle

has been accused of hiding the MySQL test cases obfuscate and revision history by the vice president of MariaDB (a MySQL fork), Sergei Golubchik. Writing in his blog, Golubchik indicates that even in the latest version of MySQL listed fixes for some errors, no test cases are associated with these corrections.

In fact, the test environment, mysql-test-run now runs also from a new directory, internal / mysql-test , which Oracle has not published as part of the Sources . MariaDB engineer has found that evidence showing that the errors had been corrected within that directory were not public, and he believes that data “ an important part of the MySQL source tree “.

discussed in The H Open and more recently in TechCrunch, where the editor writes a compelling paragraph: “it’s pretty clear that Oracle is trying to make use MySQL as difficult as possible.” The result, say in the last article, is that the developer community is very restless , and Open Source alternatives to MySQL that were derived from this project, MariaDB, Percona-derived and other not-particularly , PostgreSQL-are increasingly valued.

BlackForrest: filtered RIM’s future plans and comes out a new tablet

logo blackberry 620x345 BlackForrest: filtered RIM's future plans and comes out your new tablet

We arrived at that point in the drought year such information to any rumor falls as rain in May in the courtyard. While the alignment of the Canadian company Research in Motion (RIM) for December looks weak as the crow flies from the competition, it seems the Blackberry matrix is prepared for strong counterpoint from 2013 … or so it can be concluded based on alleged leaks of documents.

The first thing that stands out is a new tablet, known by the codename Blackforrest and according to the map work, released on the Web by the site BlackberryOS , would have 4G technology and with 129 GB of memory (somewhat exaggerated this information if asked).

The aparatejo not come out until mid next year and will bring forward an updated version (also 4G) Playbook and the first two handsets with Blackberry OS 10 (yes, that with which RIM has placed all its hopes for survival on the market) .

According to these dates, confirmed the launch of London and WIN Nevada (code names for new smartphones) for first months of 2013 and using physical QWERTY keyboard in one of them, continues the distinctive element of the mark and denying his disposal.

Also mentioned in the image “ Nashville ” and “ Naples ” which means although some have ventured to say that they are other mobile phones, it is possible that is an upgrade of operating systems or new applications native (thus serving as a liaison to the expected “10″).

As the CEO, Thorsten Heins, has reiterated on several occasions that are not in a “death spiral” but in a stage of ” transition “but the dismissal of more than 5 000 employees (30% of its workforce) do not assume good letter of reference for that comment.

Looking in retrospect, Just as he seemed to Nintendo after the end of his Gamecube (though the situations are very different) and managed to reinvent itself after the departure of the Wii. Remains to be seen if RIM ends up seeing opportunities and achieve their real use in their favor, but in all that-long-time it intends to do so can gamble against.

OpenSUSE 12.2 is delayed due to the debate on the future of planning

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”44″>

Stephan Kulow few days ago, one of the most responsible for the progress of the openSUSE project, wrote a message on the mailing list of distribution in which he spoke about the recent late delivery and the need for a significant change in several areas of the distro, including planning the publication of different versions.

This debate, which is maintained between the development team and also participates in the user community, has had a first consequence: a new delay openSUSE 12.2, which theoretically appear in mid-September.

According

Kulow will see a release candidate in mid-July , while in August leveraged to be corrected all the conflicts present in the face of the filing of the distro in its final version in that month September.

Theoretically

openSUSE 12.2 was to appear on 11 July, but problems with the methodology development have caused this delay. As indicated Kulow, “We have not adjusted the milestones and the beta, so I can not post now RC1 and RC1 delaying means also delays of 12.2 “.

As revealed in The H Open, the debate raises inter alia the publication one version per year -present cycle was about 8 or 10 months, depending on the version, or change publishing model to a completely different version. We’ll see how this ends.

On the future of Kubuntu and the mysterious Blue Systems

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”85″>

news that Canonical would invest in Kubuntu put together quite a stir, although it was clear that the change would not involve any disaster for the continuity of the project , which is now simply a more than “family”, such as Xubuntu or Lubuntu.

kubuntu1 On the future of Kubuntu and the mysterious Blue Systems

As we said at the time, with Kubuntu not going to happen, is that the project is too big so that Canonical can harm simply by withdrawing financial support which he enjoyed, which , I must say, was not to write home about. In any case, Canonical has the right to reserve all their resources to Ubuntu, its true and only bet.

Total

that Kubuntu was not the only developer who collected some of their money by working part-time in the distribution, but nothing came of Blue Systems to handle the situation, offering a financing did not materialize , at least with the public.

But just realize, and OMG! Ubuntu! a few hours ago published some interesting data that, as from May to Blue Systems will pay for two full-time developers to work on Kubuntu , one of which is supposed to be Jonathan Ridell, which remains the project leader (incidentally, also said that not what Canonical invested millions in Kubuntu …).

The first question before this issue is bleeding who are Blue Systems Your website does not give any data, unless sponsor more developments related KDE as:

Kubuntu (from now)

Netrunner

Mint (KDE)

kde-gtk-config

KDE

FolderView

rekonq (KDE browser)

KDE

MenuEditor (QML port)

Muon Software Center (QML port)

who they are and where they get the money? Follow the trail to the company, so it seems from Germany, is difficult, and the only reliable clue is provided by the whois of the domain, which does not say much except that there is a company dedicated to software behind it: IT works unlimited GmBH.

Another curious fact is the record of the names of the websites of Blue Systems and Netrunner, KDE-based distribution business approach that coincide, at least that is attached to one end: are the same . Why a company spends money to fund three distributions KDE? It makes no sense … or maybe it does?

Other information in the article talking OMG! Ubuntu! is that of possible problems that may have Kubuntu with the name , because while the system is addressed to users, no more, no problem, but under the provisions of Canonical, can not be mounted a commercial product using that name, which is what they want to do with Kubuntu Blue Systems.

It is premature to advance anything, but Canonical a refusal to let Kubuntu use the name for commercial purposes may bring the project to change name , leaving him in a situation almost exactly that Linux Mint live: it is built based on Ubuntu, uses their own repositories and security updates, but until then (which is quite eye!).

And finally, a figment of staff: Kubuntu and Netrunner will join under a new name and create a distribution with all of the law, based on Ubuntu but with KDE importance deserves? Time will tell, that they say.

How do you see
