Hi! I was just able to open the directory: http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/pool/main/a/apparmor/ But!

Yes, really yes: for users' confusion. That is just one of the obstacles that, upon sincere insight, can not be honest, unintentional errors. Here's what I posted months ago about such effective misleading of newbies: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=103302#p493867 ("grsecurity install made difficult and misleading, why?") >As a side note, referring to 'current Debian leaders' makes it >sound like a recent conspiracy - the current arrangement is >neither recent nor (from what i can see) a conspiracy. Lots of references, much of them often swiftly swept under the carpet, that bias is there, aplenty, in the GNU/Linux world. And to say bias is quite often understatement. Grsecurity is installed completely, completely differently than a newbie is led to believe and led to lose effort and time if he/she wants to install it on Debian. Anyone trying to have Grsecurity installed on his Debian system is bound to find that out, so I'll leave proving my point for those, if such join our discussion (but only once I install gNewSens). If you are familiar with the ffmpeg/avconv (if IIRC that the "avconv" is the right name of the rebellious FFmepg branch that, upon their searching in aptitude to install ffmpeg declares to them that the FFmpeg this branche rescinded away from is "obsolete"... So if you are familiar with the ffmpeg/avconv saga and deb-multimedia.org where FFmpeg is hosted among other packages that Debian is also not hosting or what ever the full case is... So if you are familiar with the ffmpeg/avconv tell me is that just bias or so much more/worse there? And if you're not, the correspondence, related to the whole of Christian's Debian Multimedia Archive, not just the ffmpeg, btwn Christian Marillat and Stefano Zacchiroli (the outgoing Debian leader, IIUC), if freely available on the internet from various sources, I think the link is available from http://deb-multimedia.org Here I found it: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2012-May/thread.html#26678 And since we're on Christian Marillat's Multimedia which to me looks much better than Debian's "official" Multimedia (most people who find out about the story end up using DMO, not the official...) Anyone knows if packages from http://deb-multimedia.org could be, even with some extra work (user work, I'm not a programmer), installed on gNewSense? >thanks, >kk > >> Grsecurity fully for its (future) users, such as Gentoo has >done, and >> such as the Ututo, I hear, but am banned from Europe to even >view Just for the gNewSense users, I have recently had a case of exemplary defence of my SOHO by Grsec/Pax, IMO, but, seemingly due to my somewhat unruly nature (I tend to write scathing remarks on the big and less big establishments, big and less big agencies of some particular special nature and big and reknowned names, when they fail us... But seemingly due to my "unruliness", any truly competent confirmation has not come my way yet on it. What Richard Stallman speaks publically, and I watched him on Russia Today (the Sophie and Co. show), truly marvellous interview, deign of the founder of the sole hope left in computing, as I view the GNU (or GNU/Linux) Operating System. You can probably find it on www.rt.com but I don't know, I watched it via satellite... What Richard Stallman speaks publically, Grsecurity does in work. I mean the core part of it. And the core part of GNU freedom is privacy, which only hawks and late-understanders in this post-Snowden day and age don't understand yet or purposefully lie so others wouldn't understand (with that in mind pls., you can view this: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-967806.html ). Grsecurity/Pax, through their work, make the GNU ideas possible. I believe the true privacy, which is the essence, the soul of true freedom, in computing, is not really possible without Grsecurity/Pax-patched kernel and just a little overhead of Gradm (Grsecurity administation) program. If you didn't get it that I am speaking about the survaillance state(s) overpowering on us, then yes, I am speakng about our societies being very very Orwellianly big-brotherly, yes. There is more, from me, on forums.grsecurity.net, where readers of this topic can start from my announcement that I was about to try and switch from Debian to gNewSense, here: https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3709&p=13455#p13455 I have no experience yet with gNewSense, I am in the process of installing it, I hope all goes fine, and I am able to report back on, again hopefully, successful install of Grsecurity/Pax on gNewSense. Slow machine, allow more time. Cheers! Miroslav Rovis, Zagreb, Croatia Oh, and as Richard Stallman said in that show on Russia Today, paraphrasing, now is the time to fight for privacy, because many people are fighting now, in this time after Edward Snowden's revelations, and if you try and join later, well later might be too late, because later not so many people might be fighting for privacy anmore. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list gNewSense-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
