Hi all, My suggestion is to listen to D--, the author of this page, who is certainly the most capable to explain his intentions. As far as I have understod his page, the reader has the choice (i.e. the freedom) to add the one or the other line to his source.list. Personnaly, I have added first the line with "main contrib", then I added the "non-free" segment in order to test the "linux-extramodules-2.6.27.1-medan". It showed me that/how the battery monitor worked. Those extramodules give consequently extra-functionalities and this may be an indication of the possibility to add later this feature in "main" too, returning back to a full free repository. To sum it up: testing supposedly "non-free" stuff, with the aim of improving features, is one thing, endorsing another thing.
Hoping to clarify things Best regards Samy Quoting crap0101 <[email protected]>: > hi all, > i see in the wiki, at page > http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Projects/Lemote#toc46 > > these lines: > Add to your /etc/apt/sources.list > > http://medan.cinnamonpirate.com/ medan main contrib > > or > > http://medan.cinnamonpirate.com/ medan main contrib non-free > > I think we have to remove that, we shouldn't recommend non-free > software (or link repo contains such things). > > by, > marco > > _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
