Hi all, I compiled a big part of SliTaz libre distro and pushed it here:
http://people.slitaz.org/~gokhlayeh/libre-develop/ Basically it uses last SliTaz cooking wok, but linux libre kernel as default and doesn't ship proprietary packages/scripts. There are some other tiny differences. Some packages may be compiled using slighty different recipes — but in thoses case I generally push the change into SliTaz wok after validing them. Also, it was compiled using tazwok 4.2.x and optimization flag -O2 instead of SliTaz default Os. O2 packages are slighty bigger but faster. Not a big deal when targeting old hardware and better for newer ones. What I pushed online is a development version; I've to change & improve various things before telling about it on forums. I share it here in case you want to give it a try. Note that in iso, tazpkg uses the default SliTaz mirror instead of the libre one and should be reconfigured before use: 'tazpkg setup-mirror http://people.slitaz.org/~gokhlayeh/libre-develop/packages' I plan to setup some place to explain why this version, sharing code development specific to it, packages & eventually have a server compiling it. Maybe we're going to do this with Martin Svenson. The idea is to have a place were realize some of the propositions made this year, without clashing with people who want to keep SliTaz as it is. It includes: - 100% libre distribution - Cook & distributed with tazwok (possibly be used as a source-distro) - Rolling release, having a stable & unstable branches all the time Also, it's a way to go ahead to a release whatever happens with SliTaz mainstream. Note that all shared code will be merged in SliTaz anyway, and that once a server is setted up all dev who want so will be able to contribute to libre specific code. -- GoKhlaYeh <[email protected]> --- SliTaz GNU/Linux Mailing list - http://www.slitaz.org/
