[GNU-linux-libre] 99% libre meme
hi! there's a widely used meme here in argentina that says "it's ok to install and recommend convenience-focused distros because they're 99% libre", followed by "...since we can't get rid of that 1% just yet". since i've recently read it went up to 99.98% i decided to check how much this "proportion of unfreedomness" is. we discussed this on #parabola and for archlinux the proportion never went more than 97%, for instance: * 5714 packages from arch provided by parabola * 564 packages from arch being blacklisted from parabola From the latter: * 201 packages without libre replacements * 33 packages removed or replaced because of branding issues * 52 packages removed or replaced because they recommend unfree software or services so: * 479 packages blacklisted for being unfree themselves (not branding nor recommendations) gives: 479 * 100 / (479 + 5714) = 7.72 so according to this meme the correct thing to say about archlinux is that "it's 92.28% libre" :) would it be interesting for other distros to debunk this meme? -- http://endefensadelsl.org pgpmT1YNxsm4w.pgp Description: PGP signature

I must have misread you then. But still we have two servers running Parabola plus two more repository mirrors out of friends kindness.

[GNU-linux-libre] [Parabola MIPS Port] Update and current status
Hi, just wanted to let you know what's the status of the Parabola port to the MIPS architecture, optimized for loongson2f (Lemote machines). In case you don't know, we have to rebuild all of Parabola packages from the ground up. We have almost all [core] working, and a bootable system that's usable and stable. We also have a native toolchain provided by wobsite! Wobsite is also attending at LibrePlanet 2011, that starts today, so if you meet him there he can tell you all the funny and not so funny stories of the porting work :) I think we'll soon have an installable medium.

[GNU-linux-libre] virtualbox-ose-additions, free or not?
I remember we decided to block the virtualbox additions because they were non-free, but I can't remember the reason. Today, borgo asked me on IRC why we block them if the sources are available, though I can't confirm is they're freely available or a part of them. I couldn't find any mention to vb in libreplanet's blacklist either. Maybe it's status has changed since a year ago? Or this doesn't apply for the OSE additions? Are we more popists than the pope? :P PS: Copy to gnu-linux-libre list to see if someone can help. -- Salud!

When we get a new xulrunner version (due to a firefox update), icecat isn't released yet, so we have to hold the old xulrunner version as an exception.
