Re: Privoxy

Fabian Keil — 2012-04-28T17:20:54


Patches welcome, for details please see my previous mail.


I'm already aware of those documents, GNU and the FSF
and I don't think our documentation violates any of their
guidelines.

Mentioning proprietary software seems to be fine by the FSF
as long as it can't be misinterpreted as a recommendation.
We don't recommend any specific operating system so I don't
see the problem.

Privoxy is also already listed in the "Free Software Directory"
operated by the FSF: http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Privoxy
They even link to our documentation, which looks like an
approval to me.

Are you saying you understand their guidelines better
than they do themselves?

Paolo -

While your position is interesting and perhaps admirable, it not a 
position shared by the current (and, clearly, the past) Privoxy team. 
As is the case with any free-as-in-freedom software project, you are 
free to take it and change it in any way you see fit as long as it meets 
the requirements of the GPL.  You are even free to make your own 
distribution that makes no mention of non-gnu operating systems.  If you 
find it valuable - then spend your time on it.  Asking (and especially 
demanding) someone else to do it for you will get you precisely nowhere.

here you can find the attachment that is in my /etc/privoxy.

sincerely i don't underatand because is necessary to have a complete manual
for all the operating systems which are in the world, when i am using a
package *.deb and is not importanto to find in my own /etc/privoxy how to
use it on solaris, os, mac os x, windows....

if i am downloading a package *.deb i need that it is explained for GNU/linux
or other GNU'S Not Unix Projects. !

you speak about segragation, i speak about Freedom ! i invite to read
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html and
https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html

i hope that can be clear for you !

awaiting your reply,

happy hacking,

Re: Privoxy

Fabian Keil — 2012-04-27T18:53:13


Note that we don't operate apt-get mirrors.
 

I don't know what inclusion policies your mirror operators use.


Because Privoxy is used on non-free operating systems as well.
 

It's not important but as long as it doesn't cause confusion I
don't consider it a problem. Also note that there are persons who
use Privoxy on more than a single operating system. Some of them
prefer a single Privoxy manual where they can skip the parts
they don't care about.


Most parts are relevant for all operating systems Privoxy runs on.
The exceptions should already clearly name the operating systems they
target.


I think a patch that simply removes documentation for supported
operating systems would be more appropriate for downstream
distributions that package Privoxy.

To solve the "problem" upstream would require a patch that allows
to optionally skip parts of the platform-specific documentation
when regenerating it.

If you feel strongly about this, feel free to submit one.
 

Why is this segregation important?

Re: Creating an iPhone distribution

Ian Silvester — 2012-04-27T18:16:43


Because the SDK itself doesn't contain any such scripts. I would need to develop the makefile, and installation is controlled by dpkg or apt (Cydia uses these to handle package management).


Yes I see what you're suggesting - I could have the launchd plist call such a script, which in turn calls privoxy. Thanks Fabian!


That's heartening! I'll design with this in mind.


That's what I thought you'd say ;o) Indeed, it is not wise.


Ah, I begin to comprehend the risk. Will not follow that route.


Thanks for this update and for your insights Fabian,

Ian

Re: Creating an iPhone distribution

Fabian Keil — 2012-04-27T17:09:31


Assuming "iOS SDK" contains proprietary "scripts used to control
compilation and installation", I'm not sure I follow.

Quoting GPLv2 §3:
| For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code
| for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition
| files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation
| of the executable. 
| However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need
| not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source
| or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
| on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless
| that component itself accompanies the executable. 
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html

Why isn't that an obstruction for distributing Privoxy binaries for iOS?


In case of Privoxy's FreeBSD port, the rc script does a config file
check before starting Privoxy. If a required file does not exists,
the default file gets copied:

Re: Creating an iPhone distribution

Ian Silvester — 2012-04-26T16:07:07

Thanks Andrew,

That's useful, though it's a shame to have to rely on a third party product. There's also Netatalk on Cydia which installs Apple's AFP protocol, allowing network drive-style browsing from Finder without a computer-side 'client' application, but obviously this solution doesn't cross platforms (and indeed iExplorer doesn't support any form of *nix).

There's a further implicit problem - how to actually inform the user of *anything* when they install something via Cydia! Each app there does have a descriptive page, but a. it is interspersed with very off-putting adverts and b. there is no common format hence it is difficult to pass on important messages to the end user. Also of course I would need to find out where such pages are hosted and generate them!

All in all, it's not very satisfactory - fine for power users (of Privoxy) who'd know how to access the filesystem and would know what they need to tweak in order to be able to open up configuration and manage upgrades successfully, but I fear

Re: Privoxy

Ian Silvester — 2012-04-26T15:22:20

Hi Paolo,

As David states, it would be an onerous task to produce one manual per supported platform and would be a strange thing to do; indeed I am not aware of a _single_ piece of software that produces separate manuals per platform. The GNU license (under which Privoxy is distributed) does _not_ mandate that non-free OSes may not be supported, nor are the developers of the application rabid free software advocates, hence we will continue to list information for all supported platforms in our documentation.

Is your question more to do with the fact that you can't find information in the documentation regarding _your_ platform? If so, please be clear about which platform that is and we may be able to assist.

Kind regards,

Ian

Thank you for your feedback.  We are not interested in producing a

Hi,

I downloaded your package from the mirror using

GNU/linux gNewSense a distribution GNU/linux 100% Free Software then i
decided to read your manual, that i found in /etc/privoxy and i opened the
file config with the editor nano.

nano config

very interesting the manual, but i could understand the manual for
GNU/linux or GNU/KFreeBSD or NetBSD or OpenBSD, but sincerely i don't
understand all the other operating systems such as microsft windows, apple
computer cupertino.inc mac os x, commodore amiga os, ibm os/2, sun
microsystems solaris

i downloaded a package *.deb and this means that i am interested to
GNU/linux, i am not interested to all the other operating systems which
are in the world.

i download from the mirror which normally has only 100% Free Software ?

why your manual explain the use for 100% Non Free Operating Systems ?

G'day Ian

There is an iExplorer which is a freeware for either windows or mac 
http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/ which state what it can do. so the 
second part of your concern is mitigated to an extent, but the first 
part might be simple in that why not install the default setup and 
advise user's of the policy that is in place. And have them backup there 
user setting and etc through iexplorer, and then if the user wish they 
can drop it in place over the default version after and upgrade if they 
wish.

Cheers
