Opps, I had been replying directly from email. No one ever saw my response.

Here is my response from August 2nd:

I can understand not wanting to host entire distributions of software,
because I don't want this either. GNU+Linux from Source Code is "meta"
in the fact that it's actual deliverable is not a distribution, only the
tools to make one. Even more precisely, it is the tools to make
software-implemented "factories" that produce GNU+Linux distributions to
spec.

As such, GLFSC will never have any accompanying packages of software,
neither binary nor source. It is only a set of tools that I plan to host
as git repository for development.

The planned function of the tools is to collect configuration data from
files or user input, instantiate a build target, generate a basesystem
of GNU+Linux, and pass the configuration details on to that system. The
source code packages can be sourced from the users local storage, or
synced from public locations on the Internet. After the basesystem is
built and booted, there will be more automation that will allow the user
to generate a software repository of packages with the package
management system of their choice.

You can read more about the development and goals at my wiki:

Enjoy! (-:

Sure, just attach a tarball to this task or send the address for the git repo, we will review it. By the way, could you answer Mario's concern about hosting a full GNU/Linux distro here? Thanks!

Yes, I have a git repo ready to go up when you are ready :)

Hi,

Sorry for delay.

Are you still planning to use Savannah?  If not, please tell
us--this will make us gain some time to review other projects.

August 1st 2010 in GNU Savannah task #10523: "Submission of GNU+Linux
from Source Code".

Hi.

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in GNU Savannah.
You can reach the rest Savannah hackers (Staff) in this list:
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers-public.

Usually we do not host complete distros, distros isos, packages
repositories, etc, mainly because we couldn't check the licenses of
each and every package it is composed of.  We may just offer support
for organisational purpose and dedicated software (such as iso
creation scripts).

How do you plan to use the Savannah services in case this project get
approved?.  Exactly what would you host at Savannah server?

Regards.

Registration Details


  • Name: GNU+Linux from Source Code
  • System Name:  glfsc
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v2 or later (GNU General Public Licence v3 or later)





Description:

GNU+Linux from Source Code is a collection of tools with which designers can make complete distributions of the GNU+Linux operating system. Because of this capability, GLFSC could be considered a source-based distribution of GNU+Linux on its own. GLFSC will follow the free system guidelines as described at http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html


Other Software Required:

none + n/a + n/a


Other Comments:

I wish to use GIT as the SCM for GLFSC.
