Cool. Are they significantly different from Ali's packages at http://www.aligunduz.org/gNewSense/ ? AFAIK he builds them using the 'custom' kernel build machinery, rather than something more along the lines of pbuilder. Also, he builds them based on Linux-libre releases, rather than keeping them as close as possible to Debian's. I think it would be nice and useful for Debian users to have kernel binaries that are 100% Free, but that are as close as possible to Debian's in other regards. E.g., running the deblob scripts on Debian's kernel source tree, deblob-checking it, and then running pbuilder on the resulting source tree. This is what I'd call freed-ebian kernels. Is this, by any chance, kind of what you're doing? Regardless, if you could put your source and binary packages up somewhere people can reach them (maybe even an apt repo), I'd be glad to link to it off the linux-libre page. > Just tell me if I have to give them specific names and version > numbers or something like that That's all up to you :-) It's your builds, after all :-) Now, if you'd like to help with a freed-ebian repo and take that out of my own to-do list, I have a few ideas on how I planned to do it :-) Best, -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist Red Hat Brazil Compiler Engineer _______________________________________________ linux-libre mailing list [email protected] http://www.fsfla.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-libre
