PLF Ubuntu meeting: summary

Posted on October 14, 2005 by Kévin Dunglas

English version of the summary.

So, a summary

The goal of the PLF Ubuntu repository is making packages for litigious software who cannot be included in the officials repositories because they are patented or copyrighted stuff (ex: w32codecs, RealPlayer, JRE Sun, Freenet, …).

Fisrt actions of PLF Ubuntu are:

  • Creation of a wiki page listing needed packages and Maintainer: http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org/doc/plf
  • Creation of a mailing list. This is the home of PLF Ubuntu. On this list, packages are purposed and tested. If you want help please subscribe at: https://www.zarb.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-plf_discuss

The packages must don’t be:

  • warez !
  • purposed or already in the main, Universe or Multiverse repositories. If your package is not litigious please use official repositories!

Other:

  • The official language of PLF Ubuntu is English.
  • Packages are distributed by the Frenches (because this is legal in France, our servers are also in France) but peoples who live outside the France can also make packages!
