Just to bring the list up to speed -- in a conversation in #gentoo-dev |
| 5 |
I proposed that what we do, instead of setting the default in |
| 6 |
make.globals, is to leave that default as-is and to add in the stage3 |
| 7 |
make.conf files the lines: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
# [some comment that says what this is and to look in the handbook ] |
| 10 |
ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE" |
| 11 |
# firmware in the linux kernel needs additional licenses, so add |
| 12 |
# them by default. Please remove if you do not wish to accept. |
| 13 |
ACCEPT_LICENSE+="freedist" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
... by putting it in make.conf by default, it #1 brings setting the |
| 17 |
license variable to the forefront of installation (users see it right |
| 18 |
away when they edit make.conf), and #2 doesn't affect existing users. |
| 19 |
The second line, allowing for installation of a blobbed kernel, could |
| 20 |
be removed but I would suggest it be kept just for user convenience -- |
| 21 |
and with it being set in make.conf I think it is more visible and |
| 22 |
easier to deal with (ie turning off if the end-user doesn't want it) |
| 23 |
than setting it in profiles or other places. |
| 24 |

Thoughts? |
