The debian project has been fixing the errors in debian, but I'm sure it will continue to make errors. It's not a lack of care for user freedoms. We could make a young debian-based distribution and maybe FSF would recommend it - just as it has some debian-based distributions made by some debian developers. > > FSFphile seemed a convenient inoffensive shorthand for me. > > Then you won't mind me tell you to stop taking whatever drugs your > doctor subscribed. I do mind it. I've asked you to stop telling me to harm myself. I never called you an FSFphile and I don't think the term offensive, but I respect your wishes and will try not to call you it. > > So, roughly equivalent to Debian's main archive.

Debian packages 'must not declare a "Depends", "Recommends", or "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-main package'. (debian-policy s2.2.1) Of course debian supports non-free software. GNU supports non-free software, although I expect the GNU project tells you not to use it. Can a product condone something? > Doesn't make it any better.

Get yourself a CD of the official release and try to find any. -- MJR/slef Laux nur mia opinio: vidu http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ Bv sekvu http://www.uk.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
