I think we should have gNewSense/d(ebian) and gNewSense/u(buntu) (or  
some other naming scheme, haven’t thought about that one a lot), and let  
people choose if they want to use a 100% free variant of Debian or Ubuntu.

If we do base the MIPS port on Debian, I see no reason other than  
possible lack of manpower why we wouldn’t want to have all of the below  
(although it’s mostly scriptable, so once the coding is done it wouldn’t  
take a whole lot more man-hours):

- gNewSense/d for mipsel (possibly with some additional  
optimized-for-loongson 2f packages)
- gNewSense/d for x86\_32 (i386)
- gNewSense/d for x86\_64 (amd64)
- gNewSense/u for x86\_32 (i386)
- gNewSense/u for x86\_64 (amd64)

The FSF would be happy to provide disk space etc. for all of these. That  
machine is actually up now, just need to coordinate the transition with  
people (short amount of downtime for all the [gnewsense.org](http://gnewsense.org) sites).

It makes sense.

En fait, c’est parce que RMS est emmerdé actuellement avec son Lemote Yeelong.

Un peu du mal à comprendre…

Je crois que c’est parce que debian supporte déjà l’architecture MIPS et qu’elle (MIPS) équipe les machines Lemote. Comme RMS a un Yeeloong et qu’il voudrait le libérer entièrement, il demande à ce que gNewSense fonctionne dessus. Il semblrerait donc que les développeurs de gN s’orientent vers une gNewSense dérivée de Debian pour le support MIPS et non de Ubuntu comme actuellement. Donc, pourquoi ne pas faire des gNewSense dérivée de Debian et non plus de Ubuntu?  
Précision: sur les Lemote, même le BIOS est libre.
