Hi!

Sorry, I commented a couple of days ago but the comment was not registered and I only noticed now.

I asked for a new registration, please, see #10961.

Thanks

Hi Mario,

Please submit your comments to the task tracker instead of to the mailing list. Anyway, the task has been erroneously closed already and it cannot be revived. Please resubmit (the original name should be available once more) and I will approve it immediately.

Alex, just so you know ... the backstory here (as I understand it) is that the IcedRobot folks have been talking to rms.  rms fully supports the project but for technical reasons it cannot become an official GNU package.  (Lengthy discussion is ensuing, etc., etc.)

So I suspect "presence within the FSF" / sv hosting is a suggestion from rms.

Mario can inform us more :).

Oops, didn't notice that classpath.org was a GNU project. In fact what utterly threw me off (besides my ignorance) was the sentence: "we would like to register the project to have also a presence within the FSF": if classpath.org is already within the GNU project then anything within it automatically has a presence within the FSF, so there would be no need to have a project in Savannah.

I would strongly recommend Savannah's world-class hosting for the full project: repos, mailing lists and all. Anyway, it's Karl's call.

Mario: 1) Why is having a "project page", with no actual savannah features being used, interesting :)?  2) otoh, yes, it's true there would be an http://icedrobot.nongnu.org web page available.

Alex: of course you're completely correct in general that sv isn't intended to provide just web site hosting, and I agree with you that it would be better to have the repos here too.  (Mario, is that of interest?)  However, even failing that, we might consider making an exception in this case because (and only because) classpath.org is another part of GNU.

(Sorry I didn't notice this when it came through first or I would have said something then.)

Best,
karl

In a message to the mailing list Mario says:


We are setting up the repositories and mailing list on
IcedTea.classpath.org, we would like to register the project to have also a presence within the FSF, but we will probably not use savannah for anything other than the project page (and web space if this is available).

I'm working on the first code drop (currently, just build machinery) and the external tools we need to develop.

Cheers,
Mario


Sorry, Mario, but here on Savannah we do not provide website hosting; we like our projects to live here and be developed here. Since your intention is not compatible with our mission I am closing this submissions; feel free to resubmit whenever you are willing to use Savannah as your primary development site.

Hi Mario,

I am reviewing your submission on behalf of Savannah, sorry for the delay.

There is no code attached to the submission. While we occasionally approve projects without source code, it is better to have something (a preliminary version is enough).

Could you provide a tarball to review so we can continue with the review process? Thanks!

Registration Administration


While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific Group Administration page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):



Registration Details


  • Name: IcedRobot
  • System Name:  icedrobot
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v2 or later with GNU Classpath special exception (GPLv3

Description:

Decouple Android from custom Linux, port Android API on OpenJDK, and Dalvik on GNU/Linux


Other Comments:

IcedRobot is an attempt to bring the Android API on Linux Desktop.

We‘re basically trying to do two main things:

1. Have Dalvik completely separated from the usual Android infrastructure so that it runs as any other *unix program in the Linux environment (and non Linux, I personally want it to work on OSX and QNX).
2. Avoid Dalvik and Harmony as much as possible and put the Android stack on top of the OpenJDK class library, and run the whole thing in Hotspot
