[CentOS] Licence text questions
I'm running a CentOS 6.5 chroot to build Pale Moon (a Firefox fork) for older machines running distros like Puppy linux. Before anyone asks... * Yes, even though the older machines are using "ancient" glibc, etc, they do have security patches back-ported, e.g. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=90461 "Lucid Puppy Revitalized as 5.2.8.7 - December, 2016" * I realize that CentOS 6.5 is "not safe for surfing". It starts at the commandline, and the only network activity is pulling down source code with git, and scp to send the compiled package to the host, i.e. my desktop PC. If necessary, that could be done by the host OS. It's used for building, and nothing else. Currently just Pale Moon, but other software could also be built. Other people are interested in doing the same. My choices are... * explain how to install CentOS 6.5, which options to choose, turn off boot-to-gui, and how to download and build newer gcc, yasm, and python-2.7 to duplicate my build environment, etc, etc. * or send out a 1.3 gigabyte centos65.tar.xz and give simple instructions to extract the archive, copy over /etc/resolv.conf, bind-mount /dev and /proc, chroot into the directory, and get going right away. I'm not charging money, but the 2nd choice literally involves re-distributing CentOS, and additional Open Source software. I believe that I'm required to provide at least the location from which it can be obtained. Here's a first draft of my "licences.txt". Any problems, suggestions? The tarball is a collection of various Open Source software, assembled and bundled together by Walter Dnes . It's based on a 32-bit CentOS 6.5 install. Additional components necessary for the building of Pale Moon 27 were built from source. It was originally installed in a QEMU VM (Virtual Machine), and then rsync'd to a directory on the host machine for use as a chroot environment. The tarballed directory is intended to run as a chroot environment. The various softwares remain subject to their original licences. As required by many Open Source licences, here is a list of where the original software can be obtained. * The CentOS 6.5 distro can be obtained at http://vault.centos.org/6.5/isos/i386/CentOS-6.5-i386-bin-DVD1.iso http://vault.centos.org/6.5/isos/i386/CentOS-6.5-i386-bin-DVD2.iso DVD1 is approx 3.6 gigabytes and DVD2 is approx 1 gigabyte The following additional source code was downloaded and used to build additional infrastructure required for building Pale Moon. * Python 2.7.13 can be otained at https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.13/Python-2.7.13.tgz * gcc 4.9.4 can be obtained at http://gcc.parentingamerica.com/releases/gcc-4.9.4/gcc-4.9.4.tar.bz2 * gcc 5.4.0 can be obtained at http://gcc.parentingamerica.com/releases/gcc-5.4.0/gcc-5.4.0.tar.bz2 * YASM 1.3.0 can be obtained at http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.3.0.tar.gz -- Walter Dnes ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

FYI you can download any previous release of Firefox from the URL below, and it will run right out of its own directory without being 'installed' per se. So you could find one that is compatible and keep it separate from the one you use for regular browsing. You'd probably want to run it as a different user on your box, and/or a separate profile. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ Or if you don't want to worry about which user and profile you're in, you could try an equivalent release of SeaMonkey. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/ Either way it would enable you to have a more secure, up-to-date browser for regular use while also having one that is compatible with the other systems you need to use. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
