Current story , We invited liuyaxuan, the developer of dragon lizard community, to share 「 First electric shock , So you are such a dragon lizard community 」.

The protagonist of this story ： Liuyaxuan , Dragon lizard community LoongArch SIG Core members , Participate in Anolis OS 8.4 Build version , Mainly responsible for BaseOS、AppStream Related software LoongArch Architecture adaptation 、 Building work .

Time goes by , The wheel of history keeps moving forward , The open source culture is evolving , It shares 、 to open up 、 inclusive , Many people keep fighting for it , Enthusiasts from different fields have participated and contributed . As someone who has been immersed in open source culture for many years “ old hand ”, I personally feel , Standing on the shoulders of giants , You can really see further .

Linux Typical representative of open source , It is also the open source software that I use most everyday . Remember the first contact Linux, That was the first job of my career ： be responsible for Linux Security related customization . In addition to completing their own work , I also added a task to myself ： understand Linux Open source culture .

With the progress of the work , I slowly feel , Just completing the tasks within the scope of work is far from reaching the efficiency improvement I have set for myself , So I began to learn to expand my field and change the way I work , Discuss your work achievements through communication with others , I also learned more from my colleagues . One apple in exchange for another is still an apple , But the exchange of one idea with another will burst out N Multiple thoughts , I hope to form a virtuous circle in this way . That's it , As I get to know Linux, Deeply attracted by its charm , Gradually, I like it more and more .

Yes Linux After the first contact , In my follow-up work , Involved in all kinds of Linux Research and development of system version . From server to desktop 、 From kernel to application , And the production of various versions and various architecture releases .

Of course , After work, I am the same as before , Will take time to learn Linux Relevant knowledge , Like a sponge, I am absorbing all the fields I have never explored before ：Linux The kernel of 、 drive 、 Storage 、 service 、 application 、 Containers 、 Safety and so on. , My own knowledge system has gradually formed in my mind , The frame becomes three-dimensional , The content becomes fuller .

Recall that I was engaged in Linux In the development of the system , I spend most of my time with CentOS、Debian Dealing with . until 2020 year CentOS After the announcement that the maintenance was stopped , Users currently in use do not know how to proceed with subsequent business and system upgrades .

And then , The dragon lizard community announced that it was targeting CentOS Technical support will be provided when the service is stopped , Also in the 2021 year 12 The response plan was released in June , Seamless migration , Support for subsequent version updates , And provide 10 Technical support . At the same time, it also undertakes the important task of open source operating system , This is also the first time I know and understand the dragon lizard community , I remember seeing it and seeing it , Since then, I have had a strong interest in the dragon lizard community .

stay Anolis OS 8.4 At the beginning of version development , Our company and dragon lizard community have relevant cooperation , So I had the honor to participate in the research and development of this release , This is also the first time that I participated in the community version , Mainly responsible for the version making of basic software . At first, I was not very familiar with other people in the community , Worry about communication at work 、 perform 、 It is not easy to solve problems . But when it comes to real implementation , The actual situation is just the opposite , In working with other R & D personnel , I learned a lot , For example, the solution of architecture related problems 、Koji And how to Koji The mirror with ISO Combining processes to make images, etc .

What makes me feel the most is , Once I found out that Libxcrypt Incorrect database name , But many basic software packages depend on this , If you change , Will have a great impact on the system , even to the extent that Mock The environment cannot continue to run . So the partners in charge of R & D in the community , Relevant software packages are screened 、 Impact Assessment 、 Trace the original cause of the problem , Initiate a meeting to discuss the future ecological situation , Propose solutions , And act quickly , Finally, with the concerted efforts of everyone , This problem was solved in the shortest time . At that time, I really felt that everyone in the community was doing their best to provide their own help , Contribute to the community .
