Hello,

Thank you for the update.
The project has been created, and you should receive an email with further instructions.

As you've written in the original submission,
Savannah indeed has limited resources, and should not be used to host ISO files.
Please only upload the files you've provided in the archive, those which are needed to create the ISO files.

Regards,
 - Assaf

The source archive attached includes the Kickstart file used with a patched version of Fedora's livecd-creator tool to generate the ISO image. The process used to generate the ISO image is detailed in the "Modifications" section of the manual, which is included in the source archive.

Hello,

Thank you for submitting a new project to host on GNU Savannah.

Savannah is a source-code hosting service - what are the source code files you intend to host?
If these are scripts to generate the ISO image (and the entire operating system), then please upload those are an archive using the "Attach file(s)" section below - then project evaluation could proceed.

Regards,
 - Assaf

Description:

Crossfade GNU/Linux 0.90 is a cross-platform digital DJ system for USB flash and portable hard drives. Crossfade GNU/Linux allows you to use a USB drive with your music collection to DJ on any modern PC (with an x86 or x86_64 CPU), including Apple Macs, using the DJ program Mixxx customized however you like. USB drives with Crossfade GNU/Linux installed on them show up in Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux as normal USB drives that music or any other data can be copied onto. Unlike ordinary USB drives, they can also be used to boot Crossfade GNU/Linux. After rebooting, the PC will be back to how it was before.

Crossfade GNU/Linux is setup with a realtime Linux kernel for optimal performance. It includes the Xfce graphical desktop environment, Midori web browser, and Clementine music player. It has a number of other programs for live musical performance including the Hydrogen drum machine, SooperLooper and Giada loopers, Guitarix electric guitar amplifier, Rakarrak guitar effects board, Ardour digital audio workstation, Audacity wave editor, and many LV2 and LADSPA audio effects plugins. Additionally, Crossfade GNU/Linux includes utilities that make it useful as a computer rescue system, such as the GParted partition manager, GNU GRUB bootloader, TestDisk data recovery program, FSArchiver filesystem backup program, and MATE Disk Usage Analyzer. Crossfade GNU/Linux is a Fedora Remix containing software from sources other than Fedora, namely RPMFusion and PlanetCCRMA, as well as scripts and configuration specific to Crossfade GNU/Linux.


Other Software Required:

In a sense, there are no dependencies. Crossfade GNU/Linux is a complete OS that can rebuild itself when running on a PC with an Internet connection and several GB of free space available.

To install to a USB drive, only a basic GNU/Linux system with Linux, Bash, util-linux, gdisk, e2fsprogs, dosfstools, hfsplus-tools and rsync is needed (all GPL except hfsplus-tools which is APSL2)




Other Comments:

The link below is to a torrent with the ISO image and installer script, not a tarball.

I would understand if Savannah does not want to host 860 MiB ISO image files for direct download. I could keep distributing them via LinuxTracker.org (or better yet, does Savannah have a BitTorrent tracker?)


Tarball URL:
