2.1 Preparing Environment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install Carbs Linux, you will need a Live Linux ISO. For that
purpose, you can obtain a Gentoo or Void Linux live image. You can
follow their instructions to boot and setup your network.
You will need the following programs in order to install Carbs Linux:
- tar
- wget
- xz
- some form of base utilities (coreutils, sbase, busybox, etc.)
Rest of these instructions will assume that you have set all of these
up, and will continue on that point.
2.1.1 Download
--------------
First, we need to download the rootfs tarball. You can do the
following in order to obtain the rootfs. If you are using an i686
machine, replace the `x86_64' with `i686'. We are setting this in a
URL variable so that we don't have to write it every time.
,----
| URL=https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases/x86_64
| wget $URL/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sha256
| sha256sum -c carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sha256
`----
2.1.2 Signature verification
----------------------------
It is highly recommended to verify the signature of the tarball. You
will need the OpenBSD tool `signify(1)' for this. Many distributions
provide a package for it, if you are using a Carbs Linux host, you can
also install the package `otools' which provides `signify'. Download
the signature first.
,----
| wget $URL/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sig
`----
The signature file should say something similar to
,----
| untrusted comment: verify with carbslinux-2021.08.pub
| RWTK4GFDD7JiohUHBeJXuKw+/P3K4ZRR8jQud0iOxNDbn7WCFxQsxt9FUNSEiXfLjkm1Ez8c3esRG8oydrsFUFpBGtekFt5obgo=
`----
Grab the key (which probably should be the latest one) that is written
on the file from <https://dl.carbslinux.org/keys/> so you can verify
the signature. The latest Signify public key is also available on the
[package repository], so you can check the validity of the public key
from multiple locations, or just copy paste that portion to a file and
use that instead.
,----
| PUBKEY=carbslinux-2021.08.pub
| wget https://dl.carbslinux.org/keys/$PUBKEY
`----
You can now verify the distribution tarball with signify.
,----
| signify -V -m carbs-rootfs.tar.xz -p $PUBKEY
`----
If everything went alright, this should output:
,----
| Signature Verified
`----
[package repository] <https://git.carbslinux.org/repository>
2.1.3 Extracting the tarball
----------------------------
You will need to extract the tarball to your desired location. For
partitioning, you can follow [this guide]. This will assume that you
will be mounting your root partition to `/mnt'.
,----
| mount /dev/sdx1 /mnt
| tar xf carbs-rootfs.tar.xz -C /mnt
`----
[this guide] <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning>
2.2 Chroot
~~~~~~~~~~
Chroot into Carbs Linux by running the chroot helper inside the
rootfs!
,----
| /mnt/bin/cpt-chroot /mnt
`----
2.2.1 Setting up repositories
-----------------------------
Newest tarballs do not come with repositories, so you will need to
manually obtain them, and set your `CPT_PATH' environment
variable. Carbs Linux repositories can either be obtained by `git' or
`rsync'. While rsync repositories are overall faster and smaller, git
offers the whole history of the repository and a means to manipulate
your repository as you like it. If you want to obtain the git
repository, you will need to install `git' itself.
The following guide will assume that you put the repositories into
`~/repos/' directory, but you can put the repositories into any
directory you want. So go ahead and create that directory:
,----
| mkdir -p $HOME/repos
`----
* 2.2.1.1 Obtaining from git
Carbs Linux git repositories can be found both from the main server
and GitHub (mirror). Here are both their repository links. You can
clone any of them.
- <https://git.carbslinux.org/repository>
- <https://git.sr.ht/~carbslinux/repository>
,----
| git clone git://git.carbslinux.org/repository $HOME/repos/carbs
`----
* 2.2.1.2 Obtaining from rsync
Carbs Linux rsync repositories live in rsync://carbslinux.org/repo. In
order to obtain it, run the following:
,----
| rsync -avc rsync://carbslinux.org/repo $HOME/repos/carbs
`----
* 2.2.1.3 Making the package manager use the repositories
In your shell's configuration file, or in your `~/.profile' file, add
the following lines:
,----
| CPT_PATH=$HOME/repos/carbs/core
| CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$HOME/repos/carbs/extra
| CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$HOME/repos/carbs/xorg
| CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$HOME/repos/carbs/community
| export CPT_PATH
`----
2.2.2 Updating packages
-----------------------
It is good practice to make sure your system is up to date, especially
before building new packages. If there is an update for the package
manager you will need to update twice.
,----
| cpt-update && cpt-update
`----
2.2.3 Installing packages
-------------------------
Since you are operating on a really small base, you might need to
build and install new programs to extend the functionality of your
system. In order to build and install packages new packages in Carbs,
you need to execute the following. "Package" is not actually a package
and is given as an example.
,----
| cpt-build package
| cpt-install package
`----
2.2.4 Essential Software
------------------------
Here is a small list of software that you might want to have on your
system as you are setting up. You might want to check the *Software*
section in the full documentation to learn more about other packaged
software.
*BOOTLOADERS*
- efibootmgr
- grub
*FILESYSTEMS*
- e2fsprogs
- dosfstools
- ntfs-3g
*NETWORKING*
- dhcpcd
- wpa_supplicant
*TEXT EDITORS*
- nano
- vim
*DOCUMENTATION*
- carbs-docs
- man-pages
- man-pages-posix
2.2.5 Obtaining the documentation
---------------------------------
All the documentation for Carbs Linux can be found on a single info
manual to be viewed offline. You can obtain either `texinfo' or the
`info' packages in order to view the documentation.
,----
| # Install the documentation.
| cpt b carbs-docs && cpt i carbs-docs
|
| # Install either texinfo or the info package. We will be installing standalone info
| # as it doesn't need perl.
| cpt b info && cpt i info
|
| # You can then run info and navigate through the documentation.
| info carbslinux
`----
2.3 System Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After you have finished installing some extra packages, you can
configure your system to your liking.
2.3.1 Configuring hostname
--------------------------
You might want to add a hostname, especially in a networked
environment. Your hostname will default to 'carbslinux' unless you set
this.
,----
| echo your-hostname > /etc/hostname
`----
2.3.2 Hosts file
----------------
You can edit your /etc/hosts file, which is the static lookup table
for host names. By default, there are two entries for localhost which
are OKAY. You can replace the 'localhost' part of these entries to
your hostname.
,----
| 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
| ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost ip6-localhost
`----
2.4 Kernel
~~~~~~~~~~
Kernel isn't managed under the main repositories, even though you
could package one for your personal use. Here is an [example kernel
package], which you will need to reconfigure for your specific setup
if you want to make use of it.
[example kernel package]
<https://github.com/cemkeylan/kiss-repository/tree/master/personal/linux>
2.4.1 Obtaining the kernel sources
----------------------------------
You can visit the <https://kernel.org> website to choose a kernel that
you want to install. Though only the latest stable and longterm (LTS)
versions are supported.
,----
| # Download the kernel and extract it
| wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.9.1.tar.xz
| tar xf linux-5.9.1.tar.xz
|
| # Change directory into the kernel sources
| cd linux-5.9.1
`----
2.4.2 Kernel dependencies
-------------------------
In order to compile the kernel you will need to install some
dependencies. You will need `libelf', and `bison' to compile the
kernel. If you want to configure using the menu interface you will
also need `ncurses'.
,----
| # The package manager asks to install if you are building more than one package,
| # so no need to run 'cpt i ...'
| cpt b libelf ncurses
`----
In the vanilla kernel sources, you need perl to compile the kernel,
but it can be easily patched out. You will need to apply the following
patch. Patch was written by [E5ten]. You will need to obtain and apply
the patch in the kernel source directory.
,----
| wget https://dl.carbslinux.org/distfiles/kernel-no-perl.patch
| patch -p1 < kernel-no-perl.patch
`----
[E5ten] <https://github.com/E5ten>
2.4.3 Building the kernel
-------------------------
Next step is configuring and building the kernel. You can check
Gentoo's [kernel configuration guide] to learn more about the
matter. Overall, Gentoo Wiki is a good place to learn about
configuration according to your hardware. The following will assume a
monolithic kernel.
,----
| make menuconfig
| make
| install -Dm755 $(make -s image_name) /boot/vmlinuz-linux
`----
[kernel configuration guide]
<https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Configuration>
2.5 Making your system bootable
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to be able to boot your fresh system, wou will need an
init-daemon, init-scripts and a bootloader. The init daemon is already
provided by busybox, but you can optionally change it.
2.5.1 Bootloader
----------------
In the main repository, there is efibootmgr and grub to serve as
bootloaders. efibootmgr can be used as a standalone bootloader, or
can be used to install grub in a UEFI environment. efibootmgr is
needed unless you are using a device without UEFI support (or you
really want to use BIOS for a reason).
* 2.5.1.1 GRUB BIOS installation
,----
| cpt b grub && cpt i grub
| grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdX
| grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
`----
* 2.5.1.2 GRUB UEFI installation
,----
| cpt b efibootmgr && cpt i efibootmgr
| cpt b grub && cpt i grub
|
| grub-install --target=x86_64-efi \
| --efi-directory=esp \
| --bootloader-id=CarbsLinux
|
| grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
`----
2.5.2 Init scripts
------------------
Only thing left to do is installing the init-scripts, and now you are
almost ready to boot your system!
,----
| cpt b carbs-init && cpt i carbs-init
`----
2.5.3 Fstab
-----------
You can now manually edit your fstab entry, or you can use the
genfstab tool. If you want to use the tool, exit the chroot and run
the following:
,----
| wget https://github.com/cemkeylan/genfstab/raw/master/genfstab
| chmod +x genfstab
| ./genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
`----
2.6 Post-installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The base installation is now complete, you can now fine tune your
system according to your needs. Rest of these instructions are
completely optional. You can check the rest of the documentation to
learn more about the system.
2.6.1 IRC
---------
The IRC channel for Carbs Linux is located in `#carbslinux' on
[libera.chat]. You can install the `catgirl' package from the
repository, or use a client of your preference to join. Feel free to
ask for help, or have a general chat.
[libera.chat] <https://libera.chat>
2.6.2 KISS repositories
-----------------------
There have been recent changes to the `kiss' package manager that
breaks compatibility with `cpt'. These changes throw away the entire
premise of their "static" packaging system. `cpt' will never implement
those changes, so don't expect any KISS package that was changed
during or after July 2021 to work with `cpt'.
3 Software
==========
The distribution aims to package essential and useful software needed
in a practical system. If the repository lacks a package that you use,
you may also easily package it yourself or request it to be added to
the default repositories over on the IRC channel (`#carbslinux' on
[Libera]).
This section goes over the details of some packaged software
[Libera] <https://libera.chat>
3.1 Init System
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carbs Linux init scripts are run by the init daemon (`busybox' by
default) on boot and shutdown processes. It also provides its own
halting program named shalt. This provides a portable method that
doesn't rely on non-POSIX external programs.
3.1.1 Configuring Init
----------------------
There are three ways you can change the behaviour of the init
system. Those are:
- Kernel Command Line
- `/etc/init/rc.conf' file
- Init Hooks
* 3.1.1.1 Kernel Command Line
On GRUB, you can edit the kernel command line parameters, which will
be parsed as variables on the init system. Not all of the parameters
will be acted upon, but all of them will be set as variables on the
init script. For example an example command line, and how it is
interpreted.
,----
| BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 rw loglevel=3 quiet
`----
This command line will be parsed to set the following variables:
,----
| BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz
| root=/dev/sda2
| rw=1
| loglevel=3
| quiet=1
`----
Some of these variables, such as `rw=/=ro', `loglevel', and `quiet',
will be used by the init system to change the behaviour of the
startup.
* 3.1.1.2 `/etc/init/rc.conf' file
However, the kernel command line isn't the only place to set your boot
parameters. You can specify variables here as well, although note that
the kernel command line always gets the priority for these variables
since they can be set just before boot.
* 3.1.1.3 Init Hooks
Init hooks are for custom personal commands that the user may want to
add to alter their boot. These can be used to load kernel modules,
modify interfaces, and lot more. Those hooks are added to the
`/etc/init' directory with the hook name as the suffix. For example, a
boot script will be placed as `/etc/init/my-hook.boot'. Currently,
there are 4 hooks that the user can use.
early-boot
Run after pseudo-filesystems are mounted.
boot
Run before the boot stage is completed.
pre.shutdown
Run first when shutting down.
umount
Run just before filesystems are unmounted.
post.shutdown
Run just before the system is halted.
3.1.2 Changing Init Program
---------------------------
By default, Carbs Linux comes preinstalled with `busybox-init', but
this can easily be replaced without any issues. Currently, available
init systems are:
- `sinit'
- `busybox' init
- `runit'
- `shinit'
This example is for runit, but it will work with all init systems
packaged in the distribution repositories. See the
`cpt-alternatives(1)' manual page for more details.
,----
| cpt a runit /usr/bin/init
| cpt a runit /usr/bin/poweroff
| cpt a runit /usr/bin/reboot
`----
* 3.1.2.1 Rebooting after changing init
After switching init systems, your running init system may not accept
the new poweroff commands. You will need to reboot/poweroff using the
running init's utilities for the new utilities to work. These commands
are for the init system currently running on your system and not the
one you are switching to.
Program Command
--------------------------------
busybox `busybox reboot'
runit `runit-init 6'
shinit/sinit `kill -s INT 1'
3.2 TODO Display Systems
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carbs Linux supports both Xorg and Wayland in the distribution
repositories. This section serves as a guide to set up your preferred
display server. Follow the subsection for the display server you want
to setup.
3.2.1 Wayland
-------------
Wayland is a modern display server protocol intended as a replacement
for Xorg. Wayland has a much simpler architecture compared to X by
its careful design and implementation. Users who want to use a Wayland
compositor should follow this section.
* 3.2.1.1 Enabling the Wayland repository
The `wayland' repository requires packages from `xorg' and `extra'
repositories. So you should set your `$CPT_PATH' so that `core' and
`extra' repositories precede the `wayland' repository, and the `xorg'
repository should come after `wayland'. Here is an example below,
where `$REPOSITORY' points to the root of your repository.
,----
| CPT_PATH=$REPOSITORY/core
| CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$REPOSITORY/extra
| CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$REPOSITORY/wayland
| CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$REPOSITORY/xorg
| export CPT_PATH
`----
After you have enabled your repositories, go ahead and install
`wayland' and `wayland-protocols' packages.
,----
| cpt-build wayland wayland-protocols
`----
* 3.2.1.2 Switching from Xorg
If you are already an Xorg user, you will need to rebuild some
packages so that they support `wayland'. If you don't have an `xorg'
system, feel free to skip this step. The packages that need a rebuild
are:
- gtk+3
- gtk4
- mesa
- xorg-server (for Xwayland support)
- webkit2gtk
* 3.2.1.3 TODO Installing a Compositor
The `wayland' repository currently only contains `sway' as a Wayland
compositor, but you can package something else for your own.
4 Contribution Guidelines
=========================
Thanks for taking your time to contribute! To maintain stylistic
behaviour throughout the repositories, one must adhere to these
conventions. Exceptions and changes may occur with good reasoning.
4.1 Conventions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[0010]
Try to keep the file readable.
[0011]
Characters on a line shouldn't exceed 100 characters.
[0012]
Make sure you don't have code commented out during
commit. Uncomment them or remove them completely.
[0013]
Do not add comments following the code, add them to the
top of the code. It makes it harder to read, and lines
longer. Here is an example:
,----
| # Good way of commenting.
| your code goes here
|
| your code goes here # Avoid this way of commenting.
`----
4.1.1 Shell Conventions
-----------------------
Shell is central to Carbs Linux projects. Most of the tools and
packages are written in POSIX sh.
[1010]
Use 4 spaces for indentation, don't use tabs.
[1020]
Make sure you don't use bash-specific code.
[1030]
Make sure you lint your code with `shellcheck' and if you are
new to POSIX sh, use `checkbashisms'.
[1040]
Don't spawn new processes if you don't absolutely need to,
especially during string manipulation.
[1041]
Never use a program for text manupilation that isn't
defined in the POSIX standard. This includes `gawk' and
`perl'.
[1042]
Instead of `$(basename $file)', use `${file##*}'.
[1043]
Instead of `$(dirname $file)', use `${file%/*}'.
,----
| # This is the same thing as basename /path/to/test.asc .asc
|
| $ file=/path/to/test.asc file=${file##*/} file=${file%.asc}
| $ echo $file
| test
`----
[1050]
Instead of backticks, use `$(..)'.
4.1.2 Repository Conventions
----------------------------
Repository conventions are important in order to ensure every package
resemble themselves. Here are the things to keep in mind:
[2010]
Prefer tarballs over git packages unless there is a sensible
reason. Here are some:
- Every patch is a new release. (See [vim])
- There are no releases. (See [sbase])
- Following a development branch.
- There has been a long time since the latest release, but
upstream is far ahead.
[2020]
Prefer sources without a dependency to `automake'. There are
usually distribution tarballs that are `autoconf''ed. Don't
submit tarballs with an automake dependency unless you are
`sure' there is no alternative.
[2030]
Avoid these packages:
dbus
Usually can be disabled by `--disable-dbus'.
gettext
Usually can be disabled by `--disable-nls'.
[2040]
- Always install a package to the `/usr' prefix.
- All binaries should go to `/usr/bin', not `/usr/sbin' or any
other directory.
- All libraries should go to `/usr/lib'.
[2050]
All build files on the repository should be a POSIX shell
script, and must start with `#!/bin/sh -e'.
The next section is about package templates that should be used in
order to ensure stylistic consistency. Note that the option
configurations shouldn't be taken literally, they are meant as
examples.

5 GNU Free Documentation License
================================
Version 1.3, 3 November 2008
Copyright (c) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
<http://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
0. PREAMBLE
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
functional and useful document free in the sense of freedom: to
assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
with or without modifying it, either commercially or
noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author
and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being
considered responsible for modifications made by others.
This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
license designed for free software.
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
that the software does. But this License is not limited to
software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We
recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
instruction or reference.
1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can
be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice
grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The
"Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member
of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept
the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way
requiring permission under copyright law.
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
modifications and/or translated into another language.
A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document
is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of
historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
regarding them.
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the
notice that says that the Document is released under this License.
If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it
is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may
contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify
any Invariant Sections then there are none.
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
that says that the Document is released under this License. A
Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
be at most 25 words.
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed
of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely
available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text
formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats
suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise
Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has
been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by
readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if
used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not
"Transparent" is called "Opaque".
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming
simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification.
Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG.
Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and
edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which
the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and
the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
processors for output purposes only.
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
material this License requires to appear in the title page. For
works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies
of the Document to the public.
A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ
stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
"Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
to this definition.
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
which states that this License applies to the Document. These
Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
has no effect on the meaning of this License.
2. VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You
may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However,
you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you
distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the
conditions in section 3.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
and you may publicly display copies.
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly
and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The
front cover must present the full title with all words of the title
equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the
covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as
long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these
conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
adjacent pages.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable
Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with
each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general
network-using public has access to download using public-standard
network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free
of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take
reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque
copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will
remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one
year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or
through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies,
to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the
Document.
4. MODIFICATIONS
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the
Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing
distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever
possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in
the Modified Version:
1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous
versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the
History section of the Document). You may use the same title as
a previous version if the original publisher of that version
gives permission.
2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the
Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal
authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has
fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.
3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
Modified Version, as the publisher.
4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
adjacent to the other copyright notices.
6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version
under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the
Addendum below.
7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
license notice.
8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
9. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and
add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors,
and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title
Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document,
create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of
the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item
describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous
sentence.
10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
likewise the network locations given in the Document for
previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the
"History" section. You may omit a network location for a work
that was published at least four years before the Document
itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers
to gives permission.
11. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section
all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered
in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the
equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
13. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may
not be included in the Modified Version.
14. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
"Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
Section.
15. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate
some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their
titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's
license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other
section titles.
You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text
has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
definition of a standard.
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of
the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage
of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document
already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added
by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on
behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old
one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added
the old one.
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
You may combine the Document with other documents released under
this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all
of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
their Warranty Disclaimers.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
combined work.
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
"History" in the various original documents, forming one section
Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
"Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You
must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
documents released under this License, and replace the individual
copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents
in all other respects.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this
License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that
document.
7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a
storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
the whole aggregate.
8. TRANSLATION
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
include the original English version of this License and the
original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a
disagreement between the translation and the original version of
this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
prevail.
If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
"Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
actual title.
9. TERMINATION
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void,
and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
after your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you
under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not
permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the
same material does not give you any rights to use it.
10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
<http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/>.
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
that specified version or of any later version that has been
published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If
the Document does not specify a version number of this License,
you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the
Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy
can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that
proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.
11. RELICENSING
"Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any
World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server.
A "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the
site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the
MMC site.
"CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a
not-for-profit corporation with a principal place of business in
San Francisco, California, as well as future copyleft versions of
that license published by that same organization.
"Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole
or in part, as part of another Document.
An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this
License, and if all works that were first published under this
License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently
incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover
texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior
to November 1, 2008.
The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the
site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1,
2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
the License in the document and put the following copyright and
license notices just after the title page:
,----
| Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME.
| Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
| under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
| or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
| with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
| Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
| Free Documentation License''.
`----
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
,----
| with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
| the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
| being LIST.
`----
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
situation.
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
permit their use in free software.
