  however, look like the people behind Slackware calls themselves Slackware

 Linux is only the kernel.  http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html
 has an extensive explanation about why calling GNU/Linux GNU/Linux is
 so important for us.

 To release your project under the GPL, you should put
 copyright notices and copying permission statements
 at the beginning of every source-code file, and
 include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL
 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt).
 Put it in a file named COPYING.
 
 Please follow the advice of http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.
 
 The GPL FAQ explain the reason behind these recommendations.  For
 example, there is an entry explaining why the GPL requires including a
 copy of the GPL with every copy of the program:

 Please send me an updated tarball.

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

 A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
 This mail was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 
 Tais M. Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] described the package as follows:
 License: gpl
 Other License: 
 Package: Slackware Source Repository
 System name: ssr
 Type: non-GNU
 
 Description:
 The purpose of this project is to ease various source package building for Slackware 
 Linux users. Today, users of Slackware are dependant on official Slackware package 
 releases, on the pre-built binaries on Linux Packages which potentially could have 
 been compromised in some way, or on their own skills at configuring and building 
 packages manually.


Linux is just a kernel of a more complex system
that we like to refer to as GNU/Linux, to emphasize
the ideals of the Free Software movement.


Would you mind changing references to Linux as an OS
to GNU/Linux?

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html


 
 The project is basically a collection of makefiles crafted to help build and install 
 various packages on Slackware Linux systems, much like the Ports system for BSD. It 
 will automatically download sources, verify, extract, patch, configure, build, 
 package and install/uninstall/upgrade. It will also check and follow package 
 dependencies.
 
 Currently basic fetch, build and package functionality is working. About 15 source 
 packages can now be downloaded from their respective mirrors and built by issuing a 
 simple make in the package repository directory. I.e. \cd 
 ssr/repository/development/pwlib  make\, will fetch the pwlib source tar ball, 
 checksum, extract, configure, build and prepare for packaging. The binary packages 
 are made with Slackware\'s own packagetools, making it a perfect companion for any 
 Slackware Linux system.
 
 Basic makefiles and makefiles for the existing 15 sources are available via email if 
 needed (16kb).

Please e-mail it to me.

Regards,

Rudy
