Linux-Noob Forums

According to six concerned CentOS developers, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone is poised on the edge of the abyss.

 

In an open letter posted to the CentOS website and the project mailing list, six fellow developers accuse project co-founder Lance Davis of putting the entire project at risk by disappearing from everyday involvement without ceding control to others.

 

"You seem to have crawled into a hole...and this is not acceptable," the letter reads. "Please do not kill CentOS through your fear of shared management of the project."

 

According to the letter, Davis has seemingly disappeared while still maintaining sole control of the CentOS domain and sole "Founders" rights in the project's IRC channels. "This is not proper," the letter says - twice.

Why must the best open source projects waver *sigh* Let us hope that someone will sort out the finer detail and get CentOS back on track. I am certain that if they don't then it is almost certain that someone will splinter the project and make a new one.

yeah i hope they sort it out, linux-noob.com is running on Centos 5.3 now (since January)
