Ubuntu donated developers to Debian

Article title: Ubuntu donated developers to Debian. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Recently, Debian announced a two-year release cycle. The development in July of the singular year was frozen, and the official version was released in the first half of the year. to meet the release cycle, the technical freeze for the next version of GNU/Linux 6.0 (codenamed Squeeze) will be earlier than January 1, December this year.

After the timetable was announced, it was immediately opposed by the community. Debian then overturned the original freeze plan, indicating that the exact schedule will be announced in early September. since Debian community members blamed Ubuntu for the situation, Mark Shuttleworth decided to take measures to enable some Canonical employees to work for Debian.

The Debian community believes that the release cycle is determined by Ubuntu. debian states that this decision will only cause damage to the two releases. shuttleworth explained the reason for coordinating the release cycle in an email to the Debian mail list, indicating that it is not only related to Debian and Ubuntu, but also to upstream projects and other releases, which is conducive to the Linux ecosystem. to freeze development in December, Shuttleworth announced that multiple Ubuntu developers would work for the Debian project.
