However...
The essence of the above is that all you're doing is creating some
custom packages and building an install disk using them, the rest is
stock Trisquel. Ruben has said Trisquel will be getting community a
repos. So in principle you could create your custom packages and put
them i

The public's understanding of mental health issues is mostly myth. The
reality is about 70% of the population will have paranoia in their lifetimes.
It is an occupational hazard in the Intelligence sector because they're paid
to think that way. So I suggest we organise a protest which give
OK, From What I Know / AFAICT you would create the same
infrastructure layout as Trisquel but use the Trisquel repos as your
upstream not the Ubuntu ones. Your package helpers would tailor
specific packages to give you your distro's branding, desktop etc.

I read both of them this morning, but I still don't get how to create a
sub-distro.
I don't think that creating a Trisquel flavor will be good enough. What I

it on a completely free distro. I would have simply debl

Oh, like everybody else on them I waved at the Special Branch police officers
with cameras on Pride marches back in the 80s. I was also active in student

No, the source DVD is not relevant to creating a sub-distro. You

Do I need to "git clone" all of them in order to create a Trisquel-based

The Python code generated by QtDesigner and pyuic4 doesn't have any hard
coordinates if you leave things to the default arrangers.
Great! :)
And many good points in your huge post below. :)

My understanding is that is only the source code to the contents of the ISOs,
not for all of Trisquel. In addition to the wiki you may want to look into
http://devel.trisquel.info/gitweb/ as well as how to use the package manager.

However, when I extract the image to a folder, inside I see just Ubuntu
software packages, nothing more. I don't have the slightest clue as to how to
recompile this once I'm done modifying it. Could I have some help?
I don't think I'll stick with Pascal - like you said, it's probably better to
use a more modern language.
I'll have a look a Python as well. :)
Interested to know that HandBrake is now back in the repos, I made some tests
to check if it's now FAAC-free. Unfortunately, it seems that someone just
imported HandBrake sources from the official PPA, and included that in the
Trisquel repo without making any change. The encoding option for F

Well, that is different: free software must be "buildable" with free tools
but can be "use", i.e., "executed" for any purpose (freedom 0). A free font
can be used in a copyrighted document.
Without the key information of what you're thinking of developing and
what the target environments are any advice will be vague and
approximate at best because it is always a case of horses for courses.
That said I can say definitively from the free software point of view

Both GTK+ and Qt have bindings for all popular languages. If you stick to
Pascal:

However, it may be a good idea to learn a more modern and, today, more
popular language such as Python, which follows as well
I don't like Java either for the same reason.
I will have a closer look at QT. Thanks! :)
I prefer QtCreator for GUI development and I write most of my programs in
C++. I've never used Pascal since I switched to free software. I don't like
Java, as I prefer native code. QtCreator is in the Trisquel repositories and
can be installed using:
apt-get install qtcreator
I think /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow are files you have to edit
and you would have to add somthing like

to block all the subdomains
You could read the man page of hosts.deny using
man hosts.deny
