The Debian tech committee allows Kubernetes vendoring
Wednesday January 20, 2021. 10:24 PM , from LWN.net
Back in October, LWN looked at a conversation
within the Debian project regarding whether it was permissible to ship Kubernetes bundled with some 200 dependencies. The Debian technical committee has finally come to a conclusion on this matter: this bundling is acceptable and the maintainer will not be required to make changes: Our consensus is that Kubernetes ought to be considered special in the same way that Firefox is considered special -- we treat the package differently from most other source packages because (i) it is very large and complex, and (ii) upstream has significantly more resources to keep all those moving parts up-to-date than Debian does. In the end, allowing this vendoring seemed like the only feasible way to package Kubernetes for Debian.
