Debian Multimedia CDD
Martin, after our meeting I've started to analyze more in depth the
issue of how to allow Debian derived "distributions" happily coexist
with Debian itself, and I found out [0] that the topic is now much
more developed than two years ago, when the AGNULA/DeMuDi project
started.
According to the terminology defined in
http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?CustomDebian
and
http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~zenaan/debian-enterprise.org/technical.html
Debian Multimedia is currently an internal Debian Subproject [0],
which do not provide a Custom Debian Distribution, while AGNULA/DeMuDi
is and external Debian Related Project, which creates a Derivative
Debian Distro.
Would it make sense to turn DeMuDi into the CDD created by the Debian
Multimedia subproject?
AFAIK this is what successfully happened between DebianEdu and
Skolinux [2], which even moved/merged part of the CVS sources into the
DebianEdu Alioth project. I think we could benefit a lot from their
experience, and maybe it would be useful to start a new debian-cdd
list, dedicated to common issues among Custom Debian Distributions, as
strategies, policies, tools.
bye,
free
