This makes - the distribution extremely configurable. It's common in Gentoo - to see 10, 20 or even 30 versions of the same package, with different - patches, and you can mix and match. - </p> - <p> - Gentoo has a page about libreboot (WARNING: not guaranteed to be - up to date with changes from libreboot or Gentoo itself):<br/> - <a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installation_on_libreboot">https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installation_on_libreboot</a> - </p> - <p> - Gentoo provides non-free software by default, but you can configure - the package manager when installing it, so that it doesn't let - you install non-free software. This way, you will end up with a - completely free system. - </p> - <p> - Modify your <em>/etc/portage/make.conf</em> with the relevant license groups. See: - <a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/License_Groups#Metasets">https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/License_Groups#Metasets</a> - - and <a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/make.conf#ACCEPT_LICENSE">https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/make.conf#ACCEPT_LICENSE</a> - - configure the <em>ACCEPT_LICENSE</em> string accordingly. if you plan using <a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay">overlays</a> it is also - recommended that apart from the FREE metaset, you also add GPL to the variable ACCEPT_LICENSE as in some overlays there are packages that define that - they are using the GPL license but not what version of the GPL They are using. - </p> - <p> - You also need to deblob your kernel: For that you need to add the -deblob useflag in the USE variable at /etc/portage/make.conf see -<a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installation_on_libreboot#Let_portage_remove_the_blobs">https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installation_on_libreboot#Let_portage_remove_the_blobs</a> -, so that when you install the source code of the kernel it is -emerged without the blobs, however this will only work if your -objective is to install the hardened-sources, ck-sources, or the -rt-sources kernel, so if you plan to install any other kernel such as -gentoo-sources (the recommended kernel by the Gentoo Project) or any -other kernel listed at <a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Overview">https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Overview</a> -you have two options:</p> -<ol> - <li> -<p>Creating a local overlay (repository) with a modified copy - of your desired kernel’s ebuild so that the deblob useflag does - work in it (This may not work if you use the kernel git-sources, as - of git-sources unstable, inconsistent, bleeding-edge nature it may - work at some point and in other not, also pf-sources won’t work - with this method as its versioning classification does conflict with - Gentoo’s internal script for controlling the deblobbing proccess, - however if you want to mess with the script it is located inside the - file at /usr/portage/eclass/kernel-2.eclass). For this first create - a local overlay following the steps defined at - <a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay/Local_overlay">https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay/Local_overlay</a> - , next create the directory of your kernel at - /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/your-kernel-dir, after that copy the - ebuild of your desired kernel from - /usr/portage/sys-kernel/your-kernel-dir/your-kernel.ebuild to - usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/your-kernel-dir/your-kernel.ebuild, - then open it in an editor and add a line with K_DEBLOB_AVAILABLE=”1” - between the variable EAPI and the line inherit kernel-2, and finally - run with root permissions the command <b>ebuild - /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/your-kernel-dir/your-kernel.ebuild - manifest</b> <span style="font-weight: normal">; after that if you - had already added </span><b>deblob</b> <span style="font-weight: normal">to - your useflags you can continue with the kernel installation as you - normally would.</span></p> - </li><li> -<p>Adding an exception to the licences that are accepted for - your desired kernel so that portage allows installing the source - code of your desired kernel even if it has blobs, and after that - applying the linux-libre deblob scripts by yourself and by doing so - removing the blobs.
