Hello Leah. Unfortunately, it seems that this project has issues which prevent it from being hosted on Savannah. Specifically, many of the third-party files included in the tarball do not have valid license notices or are incompatible with Savannah's hosting requirements.

Please see the following messages on the savannah-hackers-public mailing list:

Registration Details


  • Name: Librebootreborn
  • System Name:  librebootreborn

Description:

Libreboot is freedom-respecting boot firmware that initializes the hardware (e.g. memory controller, CPU, peripherals) in your computer so that software can run. Libreboot then starts a bootloader to load your operating system. It replaces the proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware typically found on a computer. Libreboot is compatible with specific computer models that use the Intel/AMD x86 architecture. Libreboot works well with GNU+Linux and BSD operating systems. User support is available at #libreboot on Freenode IRC.


Other Comments:

Libreboot previously existed on Savannah.

I wish for all messages on the old Libreboot mailing lists, from September 15th onwards, to be deleted.

I want to restore Libreboot's presence on Savannah. I've revived Libreboot. It was dead for years, but I started working on it again full-time since late 2020, and I'm very close to a release.

I wish to re-submit Libreboot to GNU, and I wish to start using GNU Savannah mailing lists again.

I am Leah Rowe, the founder and lead developer of Libreboot.

ignore the "librebootreborn" thing. i can't seem to access my old savannah account, so I made this new one.
