schestowitz | > i could be swayed with enough evidence, but even gnu uses it. without knowing much about it, it seems to be a thing that is common with linking c to other languages-- most predominantly java, also python ctypes (the most well-known way to link python to c code perhaps other than libraries?) and several other languages use it. | Apr 15 17:45 |

schestowitz | > unlike systemd, which is a huge assortment of random features stuck together mostly just for the sake of sticking them together, libffi is a single language feature that is mostly abused (if by anyone at all) by gnome. and you know how i feel about gnome, but these other uses seem legit. | Apr 15 17:45 |

schestowitz | > take systemd off github and i still have loads of problems with it. take libffi off github and i cant find any problem. yes, its a little bit suspect that it is the most highly-required package even in a distro that is famous for keeping things separate and only bringing in whats needed. | Apr 15 17:45 |
schestowitz | > | Apr 15 17:45 |
schestowitz | > but unlike the systemd proponents, ive never conflated the manufactured necessity of systemd with the inherent necessity of gnu libc. libffi seems to be closer to libc in this regard. but the coding i do doesnt require me to understand much about these particular libraries, so perhaps someone who needs to could convince me otherwise. my sole concern about libffi is where it is hosted-- due to the fact that so many things use it. its | Apr 15 17:45 |
schestowitz | a particularly terrible package to have hosted there, but it doesnt seem to be terrible in other contexts. | Apr 15 17:45 |

schestowitz | Compatibility between drupal x.y versions, where x is not the same, is really awful. | Apr 15 18:02 |
schestowitz | More so compared to WordPress. | Apr 15 18:02 |
schestowitz | I could make a list of plugins we use to check compatibility. It would still take a lot of work and patching/hacking to glue together... | Apr 15 18:02 |
schestowitz | A task so daunting.... that we ought to be open to the possibility of drupal->static site options. You know the basic specs. I never used a static page CMS for blogging. | Apr 15 18:02 |
schestowitz | We don't tend to get NEW comments on OLD nodes. | Apr 15 18:02 |
