A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Rafael Guterres Jeffman <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: GoboLinux Scripts
System name: goboscripts
Type: non-GNU
Description:
GoboLinux is a GNU/Linux distribution that breaks with the historical Unix
directory hierarchy. Basically, this means that there are no directories such
as /usr and /etc. The main idea of the alternative hierarchy is to store all
files belonging to an application in its own separate subtree; therefore we
have directories such as /Programs/GCC/2.95.3/lib.
To allow the system to find these files, they are logically grouped in
directories such as /System/Links/Executables, which, you guessed it, contains
symbolic links to all executable files inside the Programs hierarchy. To
maintain backwards compatibility with traditional Unix and GNU/Linux apps,
there are symbolic links that mimic the Unix tree, such as \\\"/usr/bin ->
/System/Links/Executables\\\", and \\\"/sbin -> /System/Links/Executables\\\"
(this example shows that arbitrary differentiations between files of the same
category were also removed).
The core of GoboLinux is its scripts that are used to maintain the integrity of
the system as a whole and to help administrators to perform their tasks easily.
The GoboLinux distribution can be found on the web at http://gobolinux.org and
is not the target of this project, only the scripts (core system and boot
scripts) are.

Other Comments:
Only the scripts are hosted on Savannah.org, the whole distribution can be
found at http://gobolinux.org.
