Sorry for a possibly ignorant and inflammatory post, I mean well....
I don't really know what goes into porting and recreating a truly free
distro. I am sure the art work must be changed and the libre-linux
kernel complied but I am assuming the only other difficult thing would
be managing what packages get included, is this true?
If this is more or less true would a "gate keeper" package manager be
useful?
If I wrote a synaptic like package manger and also somehow reworked
apt-get as well to only download truly free software then could the
distro just use another distros repository server? The blacklisted
packages could be hard coded into the package manager.
Silly idea?
I hope I have not upset anyone, I am not trying to trivialize the hard
work of setting up a free distro like Trisquel.
