Hi!

Sorry, I commented a couple of days ago but the comment was not registered and
I only noticed now.

I asked for a new registration, please, see #10961.

Thanks

Hi!

I replied here but somehow the comment went lost... This has been discussed
already on task #10924.

I will add the appropriate license files to the repositories ASAP.

 Follow-up Comment #5, task #10924 (project administration):
 
 Alex, just so you know ... the backstory here (as I understand it) is that the
 IcedRobot folks have been talking to rms.  rms fully supports the project but
 for technical reasons it cannot become an official GNU package.  (Lengthy
 discussion is ensuing, etc., etc.)
 
 So I suspect presence within the FSF / sv hosting is a suggestion from rms.
 
 Mario can inform us more :).

Hi guys!

Sorry to have generated panic :)

The proposal to be on savannah was mine not from RMS, but it came after
RMS has shown interest in our project, I came to the conclusion that
having a project page on savannah would be a nice thing to show our
relationship with the FSF, which is something we would really like to
have.

Karl is right in that RMS would like to have us in the GNU package (and
so do I), but, as sad as it is, we both think this will never happen...
and this mainly because of the patents threat and because our project
will use a hybrid mess of licenses (GPLv3/v2 plus Classpath exception,
Apache License etc...), this is something in the long run we may be able
to fix and the rule is that no files with two different licenses share
code, but there is no much we can do about this because, well, is based
on Android anyway...

I want to point out that although I consider us to be a GNU Classpath
spin off, we are so just because we are using the same infrastructure
and most of us are the same people :) and where applicable we will use
some code, but indeed we are a separate project.

The code repository will be hosted on icedtea.classpath.org together
with the mailing list (we already have this), but I was searching (and
this was my reference to the web space, sorry for not being clear) a
place for the wiki, to host releases, and to keep track of the
contributors.

I would also like to have (but I understand very well if this is
something you don't like) a place where to host a copy of the android
code we are developing. We apply patches to the main code but we don't
want to have a proper fork, so it's very handy to have always a very
stable code nobody else can change and that gets regular updates and
predictable (although we are using stable versions to base our work on,
so we don't expect too many changes).

Let me know if you want more information! From my side I would be
honoured to be hosted on savannah even if we will not use much of the
resources (but we could at some point indeed).

Cheers,
Mario

 Follow-up Comment #1:

 Hi Mario,

 I am reviewing your submission on behalf of Savannah, sorry for the delay.

 There is no code attached to the submission. While we occasionally approve
 projects without source code, it is better to have something (a preliminary
 version is enough).

 Could you provide a tarball to review so we can continue with the review
 process? Thanks!

We are setting up the repositories and mailing list on
IcedTea.classpath.org, we would like to register the project to have
also a presence within the FSF, but we will probably not use savannah
for anything other than the project page (and web space if this is
available).

I'm working on the first code drop (currently, just build machinery) and
the external tools we need to develop.

Cheers,
Mario

 Description: 
Decouple Android from custom Linux, port Android API on OpenJDK, and Dalvik
on GNU/Linux


 Other Comments: 
IcedRobot is an attempt to bring the Android API on Linux Desktop.

We‘re basically trying to do two main things:

1. Have Dalvik completely separated from the usual Android infrastructure so
that it runs as any other *unix program in the Linux environment (and non
Linux, I personally want it to work on OSX and QNX).
2. Avoid Dalvik and Harmony as much as possible and put the Android stack on
top of the OpenJDK class library, and run the whole thing in Hotspot
