Hi all,
The os-release(5) and systemd-nspawn(1) man pages in systemd include
examples for various different operating systems. In Parabola, since
we don't want to recommend distros including non-free software, we
patch these to use FSDG distros instead (Fedora->BLAG
onfiguration.
Additionally, even if the user disables GPG signature checking (tamper
detection), the package manager will still use sha256sum checking
(error detection).

It doesn't say that "works stating a viewpoint" are inherently not
Free Culture, it says that they are not *required* to be Free Culture,
unless they are produced "by or for" Parabola (Hyperbola), in which
case they are required to be Free Culture.
Parabola is allowed to express viewpoints, we simply must use Free
Culture licenses when we do it.

I can't speak as to why the Hyperbola team didn't include the links in
their version.

That said, it seems that that code was purged from upstream Chromium
in 2009 / v1.3.14 (based on the ChangeLog)?
So... why is it coming up?

If not, this isn't a issue. I don't see the libwidevinecdm.so binary,
and I don't see any of the URLs where it can be downloaded.

CNAME for the root of a domain. (This is
why we use www. for Parabola.) Though, some contend that this
practice is just an ugly hack around DNS servers' config file syntax
not having ways to define aliases that get resolved server-side, and
that this should be solved by pre-processing the config file.

no path means "tell me things about the entire server", which is
different than a "/" path, which means "tell me things about the

Modern HTTP 1.1 is defined in the RFC 723X series; RFC 7230 (Message
Syntax and Routing) includes the URI specification, but the
interpretation of that is deferred to RFC 7231 (Semantics and
Content). Generic URI syntax is RFC 3986.

I believe that this is the situation with microcode updates.

ers decide what they think qualifies as
unmaintained, and in need of contributors.
I do agree that it would be good for distros intended for read-only
media to have that indicated on the page, but that could just be in
the distro description, I don't think they need to be moved to a
separate section.

suggesting that the module should have been present. Even if
it looks less like an error, and is more matter-of-factly "such and
such functionality is disabled because nonfree.bin could not be
loaded"; reading between the lines, that sounds a lot like "install
nonfree.bin for that functionality".

giving the user slightly more information is harmful. I don't see
this type of information hiding as useful to the FS movement.

Fiddling with bleachbit a bit, there is an option to have it show all
cleaners; but by default it seems that you are correct.

upstream Mesa will have it has a hard dependency. While its existence
is of primary use to those using non-free drivers, its use doesn't
infringe on the freedom of those using purely free drivers.

ased systems. We will provide repositories and installation
media without any non-Free software. All Parabola operating systems
will be backward compatible with the system they are based on, as to
help liberate already working installations. We will respect the
design philosophies of the systems ours are based on, to reduce
friction from both developer and user viewpoints.

e write "Linux" without "GNU/" (or sometimes "GNU+") in
front is when referring specifically to just the kernel, or when
writing "Arch Linux". And when we do refer to Arch, the _vast_

f there were a
GNU/Linux operating system called "Foobar" or "Foobar Linux" that
contained non-free code, and a flavor of it that was 100% Free called
"GNU Foobar", "Foobar GNU", or "Foobar GNU/Linux". That is, it is
speaking specifically about the dichotomy of having two variants of
the operating system, the where a variant without "GNU" in the name
does not obey the FSDG, and a variant with "GNU" in the name does obey
the FSDG (other than the section about name confusion).
It would be like if we took non-free "Arch Linux" and made our free
derivate of it and called it "Arch GNU/Linux".

the X60 that I'm typeing this on.)

I didn't start the thread, but it was my email that André was directly
replying to in

OpenBSD does). Further, the switch to clang was pretty recent. Using
GCC probably would be pretty easy.

aken, NuBSD is eventually going to have a variant based
of of each of the popular BSDs. NuBSD Fire is FreeBSD. There are
plans for eventual Air, Aqua, and Earth variants based on the other
popular BSDs (I'm not sure which is which); though Fire is being
prioritized as a first release.

Have you received an update on this?
I'd also be interested in if the person(s) who audited the tarballs
containing this as part of a couple RYF certs has any input.
