It feels weird that most of the news I care about, only the community here at freepo.st understands. I don’t even know anyone in person who can remotely grasp the concept of Free Software, yet alone a distro feud between Parabola and Hyperbola devs.

This place is great. Please keep us updated on any further developments on this topic.

You are welcome :)

I also invite you to join the community on freenode at #freepost (if you use IRC). A lot of informal chitchat takes place in the channel.

I like the name. Has anyone tried it out yet?

Btw, since I don’t follow parabola as closely at the moment, can anyone point me at why the devs split?

Donation money issues. But it was hard to know because the fighting wasn’t public, just part of it spilled onto the mailing lists. It was very sad, and I jumped to Arch because of it.

Very, very, sad.

Mas veja pelo lado bom. O sonho de muita gente vai ser realizado. O espetacular gerenciamento de pacotes e dependências do Arch, unida aos patches do Debian.

Yes I think it was something about mismanaging donations and then not dealing with the problem appropriately in the best interest of their community.
