Hi I have published Debian Libre installer images [1], built without any non-free software, and that sparked an idea on how to get linux-libre into Debian. My perception is that Debian people doesn't want duplicated source code, which is understandable, and it was suggested to mimic how user-mode-linux is built:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/user-mode-linux That builds a linux kernel image in a non-default configuration. Something similar could be done for 'linux-libre'. See more details here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2025/11/msg00387.html Any thoughts on this? Specifically, what do you think about running deblob from within a 'linux-libre' Debian package debian/rules script, using Debian's linux-source as a build dependency for the Linux source code? To produce a binary linux-image binary. The freesh apt repository Debian packages doesn't work this way, do they? I can't find debian/* source code for those Debian packages, where are they? I'm not that familiar with the Debian linux kernel build process, but if this has some chance of going forward in Debian, I hope to work on it. /Simon [1] https://libre.debian.net/ or https://gitlab.com/debdistutils/debian-libre/debian-libre-live [2] https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/freesh.en.html
