Yes BIOS is proprietary i need a server that runs coreboot this is my
priority. On my laptop Acer Aspire V3-772G i run Trisquel GNU/Linux with
Linux-libre kernel thanks for your help
Hardly.
You can install Linux-Libre in any distro, Ubuntu for example. That would
still leave you with the proprietary junk you had there before.
As for the machine itself, you still have the BIOS (only a few machines
support Libreboot) and possibly more hardware components that run
Can we replace VRMS with another program or script ?

It's removed because it is misleading and not useful for finding out
what is free
So many different levels: Not only is VRMS a complete joke and totally
inaccurate and incomplete anyway, it's also not completely not necessary.
Trisquel doesn't have proprietary software (if you find any it's an accident
- file a bug and it'll be fixed.) If you install such yourself you

I have noticed that VRMS (Virtual Richard Stallman) is missing from the
Trisquel repository and would like it to be added in.
I know that Trisquel is againts installing proprietary software so that might
be why it's not added in but some people do and it would be

Here's my understanding of vrms-
Debian has their main repository which they claim is all free software and
then contrib and non-free repositories which have their respective
freedom issues - either non-free dependencies or data or maybe actually being
non-free. Debian claims contrib and
The reality is much of Debian's
main includes software that does not jibe with the FSF's
definition.
It's software under the original Artistic License, software recommending
nonfree software (which is free and FSDG-incompatible), software being
fixed or something else?
Furthermore Debian
I am not sure whether the GNU FDL allows a section of proper
documentation to be made invariant. If so, that indeed looks
problematic.
The FDL doesn't allow invariant technical matter..
I'm a Parabola user myself, and your-freedom is a great package, especially
since when it updates, it can detect any software that might have been
non-free in the repositories before and remove it or replace it with it's
libre counterpart.
Maybe Trisquel can have something like that...?
There IS something similar to vrms in the fully-free distro world. While
installing parabola from the netinstall iso I saw a virtual package. It is
called your freedom. Apparently it is designed to detect and conflict with
any non-free piece of software that you try to install. In order to
As for the problem with vrms, the FSF people don't like it because of their
perennial disagreements with Debian. It uses Debian's criteria for freeness
so it reports things that FSF would consider free, such as GNU documentation
(which is licensed under GFDL with invariant sections). The

VRMS only reads the licenses on files and does not check if the source is
available or if the software recommends non-free software.
Yes, I understand that. It checks if there is a copyright file under
/usr/share/doc. I think it is not practical to check if the source code is
available and if

Trisquel already removes non free software. What do you need it for?
But it is possible to install from other repositories (or using dpkg),
which might be non-free. So the user can scan using vrms periodically.

I agree with this. It could be great!

Yes, sometimes it happens without knowing.

Hello,
Why vrms package is not there in the Trisquel repository? Is it because
Trisquel is a 100% free distro, so that vrms is not necessary ? Is it
because vrms won't work with Trisquel ?
Please help me to understand.
Thanks,

I guess if VRMS were to reflect the same message that the blacklist says, it
wouldn't be a problem any more? If so, I guess I could make updating it a
small weekend project.
Trisquel GNU/Linux is not affiliated with the libre-planet blacklist. We
don't have any control over if they put a disclaimer or not. You would have
to contact their mailing list if that is your concern

In fact it is, I started both projects, and IIRC I added the vrms entry to
the blacklist.
