We can't require contributors to install Debian as it has freedom
issues[1] but for contributors, installing PureOS is easier since
it's at least FSDG compliant[2]. So it makes sense to show that
PureOS is the primary target here.
This is also reflected in the reality as the current GNU Boot
maintainers already installed PureOS 10 inside virtual machines
and/or containers to test this script and build the GNU Boot 0.1
RC1 release.

Without that fix already the installation script fails on PureOS when
some packages are already installed :
# ./resources/dependencies/debian
[...]
[...] Package not found: wget
[...] Command failed: The selected packages may already be installed.
Since most other dependencies installation scripts also use
PackageKit, they are likely to behave in the same way and so we also
apply the same fix.
This was broken by the commit 0f74569af0
("dependencies: switch arch, debian, fedora35, ubuntu2004 to

The reference to lbmk was removed because there is no lbmk script in
GNU Boot.
The python section was removed as this is already taken care of by the
combination of the dependencies installation scripts and the
recommendation of specific distributions to build GNU Boot. Untested
distributions were also removed.
As for the removal of x-toc-enable, we had issues when having both
x-toc-enable and x-reviewed on the same page in the past. This is
documented in the commit adc578ae49
("site: license.md: fix x-reviewed"). So to make sure to avoid similar

Many projects that make hardware work (drivers, etc) have status
pages.
Here GNU Boot is a distribution and with very few exceptions (like
infrared and TPM on I945 Thinkpads) most of the hardware work fine.
However we currently need to track what computers were tested, if the
installation instruction work, and the upstream status to know if a
computer is likely to continue being supported or not if nobody
volunteers to help.
This is also a practical way to ask volunteers to test with very
simple tasks like bug reporting if things work or don't work.

The website-build code already uses guix by default. Given that it

pandoc, it's a good idea to help users easily install Guix.
PureOS Byzantium has a package for Guix 1.2.0, so if users install
that they will need to update it at least to Guix 1.4.0 to have the

It is possible to install GNU Boot on I945 Thinkpads without opening
the computer even if the nonfree bios sets the bootblock region (the
last 64K of the flash chip) read-only.
The flash chip looks like that:
+----- -----+---------------------------+-------------------------+
| ... | Secondary bootblock (64k) | Primary bootblock (64k) |
+----- -----+---------------------------+-------------------------+
0 0x1e0000 2MiB
To bypass the read-only restriction we use an utility (bucts) that
tells the hardware to swap the primary bootblock with the secondary
one for the next boot. We then have to disable that swap and reflash
again.
CONFIG_INTEL_ADD_TOP_SWAP_BOOTBLOCK generates the two bootblocks
directly in coreboot so we don't need to use special commands to do
that anymore.
In addition the MacBook 1.1 and 2.1 are known not to have such
read-only restrictions so they don't need to have
CONFIG_INTEL_ADD_TOP_SWAP_BOOTBLOCK enabled.

The various build scripts are scattered around in multiple
places. This make it hard for contributors to understand what they
need to modify.
Most GNU Boot users are interested in running GNU/Linux or BSD
operating systems. And the way to install software on these
operating systems is through a package manager. So most users and
contributors already know the package manager abstraction.
So using that abstraction makes it easier to find where things are.
The scripts to install dependencies don't really fit the new structure
but for now we move them in to make sure that everything works
fine. This could be fixed later on and migrated to a single
dependencies packages by auto-detecting the distribution with
/etc/os-release.
