Follow-up Comment #5, task #10523 (project administration): Opps, I had been replying directly from email. No one ever saw my response.
Here is my response from August 2nd: I can understand not wanting to host entire distributions of software, because I don't want this either. GNU+Linux from Source Code is "meta" in the fact that it's actual deliverable is not a distribution, only the tools to make one. Even more precisely, it is the tools to make software-implemented "factories" that produce GNU+Linux distributions to spec. As such, GLFSC will never have any accompanying packages of software, neither binary nor source. It is only a set of tools that I plan to host as git repository for development. The planned function of the tools is to collect configuration data from files or user input, instantiate a build target, generate a basesystem of GNU+Linux, and pass the configuration details on to that system. The source code packages can be sourced from the users local storage, or synced from public locations on the Internet. After the basesystem is built and booted, there will be more automation that will allow the user to generate a software repository of packages with the package management system of their choice. You can read more about the development and goals at my wiki: http://katofiad.co.nz/wiki Enjoy!
