* core
- enabled by default
- mirrors must mirror this media to be listed as a mirror
- only free/libre stuff as described by FSF / OSI
- must be selfcontained
* nonfree
- disabled by default, installer will ask to enable it if
it detects hw that need driver/fw from here
- mirrors must mirror this media to be listed as a mirror
- contains apps/drivers/firmware that are free to redistribute
but we dont have redistributable source for
- for example: ati/nvidia drivers/firmware, Oracle Java,
Adobe stuff we might get redistribution permission for
* tainted
- disabled by default
- mirrors are free to not mirror this media ( ? )
- stuff we think we can redistribute, but that may have some
patent issues or other legal restrictions
- what belongs / is allowed here must still be discussed
* debug_core
- disabled by default
- debug rpms for core
* debug_nonfree
- disabled by default
- debug rpms for nonfree
* debug_tainted
- disabled by default
- debug rpms for tainted
Every media contains the same layout:
* backports
- disabled by default
* backports_testing
- disabled by default
* release
- disabled by default on nonfree, installer will ask to enable
it if it detects hw that need driver/fw from here
- disabled by default on tainted, debug_core, debug_nonfree,
debug_tainted
* updates
- disabled by default on nonfree, installer will ask to enable
it if it detects hw that need driver/fw from here
- disabled by default on tainted, debug_core, debug_nonfree,
debug_tainted
* updates_testing
- disabled by default
The Scheme sounds good. One only suggestion from my side, i would enable the updates once the repositories are enabled.
For Example if I enable the non-free Repos i would like also to get the Updates for them. or maybe only security fixes and enable the other updates manually would be ok.
