LicRe – Linux .config Repository

I'm submitting a request for my first Alioth project.

"LicRe is a project intended to provide Debian GNU/Linux users with custom configuration files and tools for compiling kernels from different releases for many laptop and desktop models."

I had this insane idea several months ago, and now there's some Italian Debian user who may contribute to the project. 

Project summary and objectives follow as submitted with my request.

 

LicRe aims to provide configuration files – contributed by users and developers – for compiling optimized Debian Linux images for different laptop/desktop models, with different kernel releases and for different purposes. Those files should both comply with a policy and be really suited and polite.

Among more long term objectives there could be:
– creating an API through which applications (e.g. d-i or make-kpkg) may use these data;
– extending this system to kernel modules which are outside the kernel source packages in Debian;
– building a number of ready-to-use, custom kernel images for installation as .deb packages;
– PGP signing and some kind of quality assurance.

The project will require at its start a CVS repository, one space for a wiki site (for implementation details, further documentation, and news) and a mailing list for discussion and coordination.
