Some places build every night even if there are no changes.02-26-16 11:54 PMLike 0 - Where can I find information on how to program apps for BlackBerry 10?

Posted via CB1002-27-16 01:01 AMLike 0 - That is kind of a facile thing to say.
The reality of these "security patches" is mostly just pulling an updated package from the upstream maintainer.
Then building, testing and deploying.
The amount of change is relatively small but the testing effort will also be small.
The bug fixes and not the security patches will likely be the source of most of the new bugs.02-27-16 05:12 AMLike 0 - I am suggesting that the bulk of the security fixes they make will be for things that have a CVE.
Is BlackBerry the upstream maintainer because upstream refuses their changes?
Could be I am just missing something here.

Maybe you don't care about this certification, but if you want to understand what is really going on you need to use the actual information not someone's spin based on a lack of understanding. Making decisions on insufficient or incorrect information is one of the biggest sources of software bugs. When an issue doesn't make sense, one of the main reasons is often a lack of understanding. But for some reason we humans seem to assume we are already experts and the people working in an area aren't.
LeapSTR100-2/10.3.2.287602-27-16 08:19 AMLike 0 - Everybody keeps changing "security enhancements" to "security fixes". One of the security enhancements coming in 10.3.3 is a new certification, for example. We have known this for quite a while now.

That is just not what I am talking about.
I believe that they will include some security fixes as well.
If you don't, that's fine.02-27-16 08:23 AMLike 0 -
LeapSTR100-2/10.3.2.287602-27-16 08:29 AMLike 0 - I do, but as Blunoser said BlackBerry is the upstream developer for almost all the OS. They are the integrator for the rest, open source projects and all, since BB10 is a closed system and BlackBerry is the only organisation that can distribute privileged code. That means more work than you imply. Added to coding to a standard and getting certification the release is not as trivial to do as you make it out to be.
LeapSTR100-2/10.3.2.287602-27-16 08:44 AMLike 0 - It could just be company procedures. Back in the day, I read that Microsoft used to re-build the WindowsOS every day... and your name would be mud if something you did caused the daily build to fail. None of those internal builds were for release (though anyone of them could have been) it was just Microsoft's way of keeping on top of things and always having a stable build.02-27-16 01:59 PMLike 0

I suppose it could be part of Chen's Machiavellian plan. Pour what scant BB10 developer resources he has left into meeting a security certification that no one wants.

That may not be a new feature you are specifically looking for, nor the extent of new development you would like to see, but it strains the definition of maintenance in my dictionary.

By "no one wants" I presume you mean consumers. They are not the target of large volume BB10 sales for the future.02-28-16 08:41 AMLike 0 -

Perhaps I should have written it like this
[Sarcasim]I suppose it could be part of Chen's Machiavellian plan. Pour what scant BB10 developer resources he has left into meeting a security certification that no one wants.[/Sarcasim]
In that context though I think it is clear that by no one, I mean no one. But it is clear from the quote that BlackBerry means "...consumer and enterprise fans of our workhorse BlackBerry 10 smartphones such as Passport, Classic and others..."
Because there are customers who do want it, clearly. Of course if you don't work in the same business as these customers, or for one of them you won't know why and how badly. They aren't know for their love of the public spotlight.
Have you never criticized a politician or pundit for spining topicts until they are skewed far from the truth? If you read this thread with an unbiased eye there is a lot of that in it. When you engage in the same behaviour you shouldn't be surprised when you get called out for it like a politician. If there is, as BigBadWolf suggests, no difference between saying "...maintenance mode..." and "...two releases with security and privacy enhancements..." then why not use the latter? Most people will recognize that there is a difference and that you are pushing your own view of things. There is nothing wrong with that, why not own it?. But it is your own view of things, not ordained fact. Don't be surprised when someone points that out.02-28-16 09:30 AMLike 0 - No, mainance, enhancement.

See Thurask gets it. All though there are others that he leaves out.

What's the spin? I've directed my comments to those who feel wronged by BlackBerry. They have read into what has been stated, and set their expectations based on their perspective. BlackBerry for once has under promised.02-28-16 11:24 AMLike 0 - It's nuance. While I agree security enhancements go beyond maintenance, this is CrackBerry, and the members here overwhelmingly would not be affected by these changes. Those who are should already be aware of what's coming.
