Project News for GNU-Darwin Distribution
Stakeholders-7/17 revisited
And now for your entertainment and amusement, a little GNU-Darwin
history, which seems quite germane at this time. In addition to this
below, I also recommend our anti-war materials.http://proclus.tripod.com/radical/wartext4.html
http://www.gnu-darwin.org/wartext2.htmlI hope that this material will be helpful to people who are looking for
ways to protect the NYC anti-war demonstrators, and/or the people and
shrine of Najaf. Please distribute freely.Regards,
proclus

Subject: [Gnu-darwin-distribution] GNU-Darwin: DC 7/17: We Are The Stakeholders
!
For me the point is in the slogan. This meeting appears to be a
self-congratualory handshake between a bunch of CEOs, where the voters
will be excluded from the decisions of their government.
http://www.mccullagh.org/theme/dmca-celebration-may02.htmlIn their brashness, they think they can make it an open meeting, with
public
comments, because they feel that the people are inured into helplessness.
By showing up and making a little noise, we show them that the people
are the real stakeholders, not the corporations, and that we are ready
to take democratic action now, especially if they plan to buy off the
regulators and legislators. I wish I could be there.This is also the message of these unusual posts to the GNU-Darwin
lists, and of our Freedom News page.http://gnu-darwin.sourceforge.net/news.php
We will stand up and let them know that we are watching, that we see
what they are trying to do, that we object to it. We will engage them
at every turn with our innovation and by exercising our rights. Someone
must say NO to these IP bullies, and I'm happy that GNU-Darwin can be
part of that assertion.
Vigilance is the operative word. If we are not strong, then open
standards, free software, fair use, and even free speech will be
bulldozed for the profit of a few depraved and already wealthy
individuals. They have shown us with their media what they want
for America, and it is a disgusting picture. Their intention is clear,
but our stridency is thus enabled. We must put them
back in their place, and we must do it now while we still can, before it is
too late.Regards,
proclus

Hash: SHA1
Apple has been excluded from the DRM workshop, or else they are keeping
clear. It would be interesting to find out which it is. Maybe those
Valenti groupies want to shut Apple out of the DRM OS. On the other hand,
Apple could get much credibility from the users by speaking out against
Palladium and so on. Any ideas? Also, I've updated the news page with
links that have been discussed on the ad hoc list stakeholders list. Check
it out.http://gnu-darwin.sourceforge.net/news.shtml

To: gnu-darwin-distribution@lists.sourceforge.netGNU-Darwin will blackout tomorrow, if the 7/17 fair-use
representatives, leafleteers, or demonstrators are ill-treated. We will
also commence to organize a world-wide boycott against the companies in
the DRM workshop.Please accept my apologies, if you got more than one copy of this
message.Regards,

GNU-Darwin: Playfair progress?

| Hi,
|
| Whats' happening in the playfair front? Did we receive any reply from
| Apple?

`----hymn-project.org and playfair.org just came online today.
EFF.org forwarded me to a US based hosting service provider.
This provider is well aware of the DMCA and DRM issues and is very
much willing to defend us in case Apple threatens to bring down the
site.--

GNU-Darwin: Annnouncing $HOME Ports tarball for Irix64
By way of review, our $HOME tarballs provide a way for users to build
software in their home directories, especially on systems where root
access may not be available or desireable. I use these things to
prototype solutions for crystallography labs, such as parallel
computing, networking software, and backup systems, but there are
clearly many other uses. Here are the links for our new Irix64 version.http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnu-darwin/ports-irix.tar.gz?download
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gnu-darwin/4Irix/As with previous cases, it was necessary to bootstrap FreeBSD make onto
the system and hardcode the path to the zsh into the make binary. In
order to use the tarballs, you might have to build your own custom
make, which you can do in src/usr.bin/make. It might also be
necessary to modify some variables in usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ports.mk to
relect your home directory, although I did make some progress in
generalizing this. Here are some general info and related links
about the $HOME tarballs.http://www.gnu-darwin.org/linuxtips.html
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=112921
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=145705
http://www.gnu-darwin.org/gdc/ccp4/parallelization/As part of my new job resposibilities, I am using the the GNU/Linux and
Irix ports systems alot, and I'll be preparing some new packages very
soon.If you have any questions about this, be sure and ask.

playfair on GNU-Darwin x86, Apple uses DMCA
For those who are interested, playfair built automatically with
GNU-Darwin x86, although I haven't tested it, because I am clearly _not_
an iTunes user. For those who are interested in downloading and
distributing the code, here is the project link and source code link as
well.http://sarovar.org/projects/playfair/
http://sarovar.org/download.php/267/playfair-0.4.tar.gzFor any who haven't heard, Apple has apparently served the playfair
project with a DMCA takedown notice, which means that GNU-Darwin is
going black with a prominent playfair link this weekend. Here are the
story links.http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/04/09/playfair_dmca_takedown/
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/04/09/1554203That last point should be up for discussion, because we general ignore
the proprietary software side of Apple. Personally, I think that anyone
who intentionally and knowingly uses any DRM-loaded tool such as iTunes
deserves no support at all. On the other hand, we have been engaged
with related issues for several years now, and like the DVD problem,
this situation is begging for our involvement.GNU-Darwin is a SourceForge based project, and it is apparently
SourceForge who executed Apple's takedown, so we won't be distributing
playfair packages through our usual channels ;-}.Regards,
