Why Steam on Linux matters for non-gamersWhy Steam on Linux matters for non-gamersPosted Oct 6, 2013 12:12 UTC (Sun) by krake (subscriber, #55996)In reply to: Why Steam on Linux matters for non-gamers by khim Parent article: Why Steam on Linux matters for non-gamers
> LSB was developed as a good basis for the hypothetical “Linux distribution's SDK”, but nobody bothered to actually make one. Because it's more-or-less impossible without help from distribution makers and distribution makers are not interested.
The problem is not interest of distribution makers, the problem with LSB is that it codifies what RHEL ships at the time of a LSB release.
To be actual useful for both SDK and Application vendors, it would have to specify a situation that distributions would then strive to implement.
I've been to an LSB meeting once. SDK providers asked for a binary compatible update of some libraries for the standard's next(!) version, but the request was turned down because those versions would not be already be available in RHEL at the time of the standard's release.
