1 | Hi there, |
2 | |
3 | I've been working on an eclass and associated ebuilds for the |
4 | linux-libre [1] kernels. It's just linux with bits which they |
5 | consider unfree are removed. It's a project of FSFLA. |
6 | |
7 | The reason I chose to do most of the work in an eclass rather than |
8 | the ebuild is so I can very easily take other kernel versions in the |
9 | tree and combine them with the linux-libre kernel (I've written an |
10 | ebuild for the vanilla libre kernel, and one including the gentoo |
11 | patcheset). Also it means the ebuilds can remain almost unchanged |
12 | from their official kernel counterparts. |
13 | |
14 | Please can you let me know what you think of the eclass & ebuilds; |
15 | any suggestions, criticisms, questions etc? This is my first time |
16 | writing an eclass, and to me it all feels quite nice and solid, but |
17 | that's the sort of thing which could quickly and harshly disproved |
18 | ;-) |
19 | |
20 | I'll then attach the eclass & ebuilds to bug #266157 [2]. |

28 | Many thanks, in advance, for anything you have to offer. |
