Note: 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?

Hi,

I'm sorry for the lengthy delay in replying to your project submission.

I see two immediate issues:
1) Any distro based on the Linux kernel can't be official GNU software, or so I understand from rms.

2) In general I see no problem with hosting a distro on savannah as non-GNU software, but it must be committed to being 100% free.  That means actively removing nonfree blobs from the kernel, as well as avoiding any nonfree packages.  Do you do that?  I didn't see any mention of it on the web site.

Thanks for supporting free software, and happy hacking.

Registration Details


  • Name: corvix GNU/Linux
  • System Name:  corvix
  • Type: Official GNU software
  • License: GNU General Public License v2 or later





Description:

Corvus corvax likes to steal; this distribution steals ideas :) In fact it's less a distribution and more a cheat sheet for installing debian in a scientific environment. After you install the corvix distribution, you have a debian/etch with additional features.


Other Software Required:

debian + GPL + http://www.debian.org
syslinux + GPL + http://syslinux.zytor.com


Optional packages: Are downloaded an built from source, if user want so.
torque/maui + custom gpl-like + http://clusterresources.com


Other Comments:

Its a completely new sort of linux distribution. Its intended as an installation framework for different kinds of linux distributions for a stable basis system. Bleeding edge software can be installed using a (gentoo)-portage like system.
