Hi, I'd just like to point people to this thread on the http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/FreedSoftware#Mailing_List mailing list:
Building recent linux-libre and icecat packages for more GNU/Linux distributions http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.gnu-linux-libre/40 In general I'd suggest people from gnuzilla might want to be on that list, as I think GNU icecat is a natural thing to have recent versions of in all of the Libre GNU/Linux distributions, but many of them do not yet have packages for it (I personally switch between GNU/Linux distributions a lot as I like to test out the new Libre ones, so use IceCat from nixpkgs - http://nixos.org/nixpkgs.html - if someone is good at C++ I think that nix would actually be a neat thing to make a http://freedsoftware.org distribution of, as (a) it has the really nifty property that you can verify that a certain binary has been created from a certain set of sources, without having to do a recompile, and (b) as discussed at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.nixos/1023 I think it could be modified pretty easily to provide a sort of package freedom calculus, and upstream seems willing to include such a feature (I'm working - as a personal project, and very slowly - at the port mentioned in that thread at http://gnupure.org ) Cheers, -- Daniel JB Clark | Sys Admin, Free Software Foundation pobox.com/~dclark | http://www.fsf.org/about/staff#danny
