OpenMandriva on attempted distribution sabotage |
 |
OpenMandriva, one of the Linux distributions that continue the legacy of Mandrake Linux and Mandriva Linux, has published a statement about an attempt to sabotage the distribution's infrastructure by project member Davide Beatrici. It included partial removal of OpenMandriva's repository on GitHub: "No longer seeing any point in maintaining a mirror to Davide's private infrastructure, I decided to sever the connection (at least some of the mirrors that were in the packages of which I am maintainer). This infuriated Davide so much that, abusing of the administrative privileges he still had, he sabotaged the distribution today in the early morning hours. He deleted part of our repository from GitHub - things we'd been working on for many years, and I myself had been working on for a decade (specifying that the decade will end in September 2026). Davide also decided to publish an empty package in the Cooker repository, which obsoleted all GNOME and COSMIC packages, which could have damaged the systems of people using GNOME or COSMIC." The full statement, published by OpenMandriva Association member Damian Marcin Szymański, is available here.
