| > oh my god, what a spectacular issue. And, seriously, the Poetterings' response is basically "not my job" and "not a bug". And this person develops something that sits at the core of a modern linux system... All the while Lennart claims that he's making Linux more secure. FFS. Edit: I forgot about this https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2014/04/03/tso-and-linus-and... > He (Theodore Ts’o) goes on to describe how he previously had to neuter policykit’s security (rendering his system very vulnerable) just to get his system working, and how he has found systemd "very difficult sometimes to figure out". And: > As for Kay Sievers, maybe he should rename himself to Kay Sewers, because that’s exactly what he smells of. He told to IETF internet area director and previously DHCP working group co-chair “Tod Lemon” to lmgtfy when he asked about a systemd related git repository. This gem sums it up perfectly though: > Yet just two days ago, we see Linus Torvalds (the creator of Linux and maintainer of the Linux kernel), launching into a tirade against – yes, you guessed it – systemd developers because of their atrocious response to a bug in systemd that is crashing the kernel and preventing it from being debugged. Linus is so upset with systemd developer Kay Sievers (gee, where I have heard that name before – oh, that’s right, he’s the moron who refused to fix udev problems) that Linus is threatening to refuse any further contributions from this Red Hat developer, not just because of this bug, but because of a pattern of this behavior – a problem for Kay because Red Hat is also foaming at the mouth to have their kernel-based, no doubt bug- and security-flaw-ridden D-Bus implementation included in our kernels. Other developers were so peeved that they suggested simply triggering a kernel panic and halting the system when systemd is so much as detected in use. |
