「 The dragon lizard developer said 」 The first  8  The time has come ！ Developers and the open source community complement each other , Mutual achievement , Experience of these individuals in the dragon lizard community 、 Practice summary and technological growth experience are valuable , We hope to let more people see the power of technology here . Current story , We invited liuyaxuan, the developer of dragon lizard community, to share 「 First electric shock , So you are such a dragon lizard community ？」.

Welcome to the last story 《

The dragon lizard developer said ： Remain true to our original aspiration , Party must always  |  The first  7  period

》. Developers say it's a long-term activity , For active contributions 、 Children's shoes shared many times , We also have mysterious gifts to encourage ！ We sincerely invite developers to share real experience , form a literary circle 、 Learning together 、 Progress together .

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 gave myself a task ： 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 、 Security, etc , In my mind, I gradually form my own knowledge system , 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 when I saw it, my eyes lit up , 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 also learned a lot during this period , 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 did their best to provide their own help , Contribute to the community .

From the initial version development stage , To the testing phase , And the final release phase , Everyone does their job , The problems that arise are quickly fed back and solved in a timely manner . at that time ,LoongArch SIG  Weekly wired meeting analysis , Discuss the problems that arise 、 Analyze the resulting risks 、 Evaluate the overall progress . So we discussed it step by step , At last we finished  Anolis OS 8.4  Build release of .

Thank the community for their affirmation , It is a very meaningful thing to participate in dragon lizard community work . I also got   Dragon lizard community  2021  year 「 Open source participation contribution award 」, It is hoped that the dragon lizard community will have more project directions for developers to choose freely in the future , I hope members of the community can submit more technical documents to the document library for sharing , We also hope that more developers can participate in the dragon lizard community , Jointly build the dragon lizard ecology in the future , Build the future operating system , Culture needs to be shared , This is especially true of open source culture , One's efforts are unknown , But the efforts of many people add up , But have the opportunity to write history .
