Surely. But do you know what sidux fixes with those packages?
Changelog just says for all of that above packages:
Code:
kdebase (4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2+c0.sidux.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* apply patch by Chris Lamb <chris@chris-lamb.co.uk> to fix bashism in
startkde (Closes: #480604).
* add xutils-dev to build-depends, to fix FTBS.

If these packages are the beginning of the really own sidux stability repositories i would support that strategy! ... As it was often asked for, for stability reasons ... just to slow down a litle and to get rid of the "hold" interventions when upgrading. |

Wouldn't have a clue; one of the devs will have to enlighten us. |

| Maybe this is the long-rumored sidux "Hot and Spicy" custom KDE edition? With Multitouch support and DirectX10-accelerated QuickerKicker (tm)? |

Looks like it might have to do with dash being the new default shell in the preview (see release notes). |

With tons of bash's syntax evaluation evaporated through the thinner dash this would be a big performance deal in starting up the system.
But what about precompiled byte code. Good old ibm/os2 Rexx could do the trick really fast and automaticly. ...And python could do. It is clear fundamentalism to not use python for init - my guess. |

Wow, OS/2 Rexx, that brings back nice memories of a bygone era. I miss OS/2! |

DeepDayze,
IBM didn't even try to make a go of it.
I used OS/2 in the middle nineties and loved it, but found one of my thirty-something install floppies (N0.7, I think) faulty during a re-install. We were sailing around the world at the time and I'd lost my warranty, but some snotty-nosed bastard at IBM refused to re-load the floppy for me without all the paper-work.
I've avoided IBM like the plague ever since, but he really did me a favour, because that's when I discovered Linux. Windows 95 would have been too much of a downgrade.
That was when Red Hat had religion and insisted on a primitive GNOME desktop, but Gael Duval rescued me by releasing Mandrake with that lovely KDE. |

The choice is to use DASH instead of the 'bloated' BASH, using Python would require to load the Python interpreter and I'm not sure if that leads to a speedier boot. |
