  • The Non-Discrimination Principle in Open Source Licensing
    GREENBAUM.37.4.4 (Do Not Delete) 4/3/2016 1:48 PM THE NON-DISCRIMINATION PRINCIPLE IN OPEN SOURCE LICENSING Eli Greenbaum† Open source communities have required licenses to satisfy requirements of non-discrimination. This principle of non-discrimination, however, has remained peripheral to the interpretation of open source licenses, with legal analysis concentrating on other aspects of open source regimes. This Article argues that non- discrimination, far from being marginal to open source, constitutes the central legal characteristic of the licensing model, and that an appreciation of the non- discrimination requirement is essential for understanding the economic incentives and effects of the open source license. This Article applies this understanding of the non-discrimination principle to interpret specific terms in free and open source licenses. In a number of instances, the interpretation consistent with the non- discrimination principle stands in contrast to generally accepted understandings of specific license provisions.

  • Installing Using an RPM File
    Installing using an RPM file If you have an rpm file for a package you wish to install, and if you cannot find a .deb debian package in any of the Ubuntu repositories or elsewhere, you can use the alien package converter application to install the .rpm file. Alien is a program that converts between the rpm, dpkg, stampede slp, and slackware tgz file formats. If you want to use a package from another distribution than the one you have installed on your system, you can use alien to convert it to your preferred package format and install it. Despite the large version number, alien is still (and will probably always be) rather experimental software. It has been used by many people for many years, but there are still many bugs and limitations. Alien should not be used to replace important system packages, like sysvinit, shared libraries, or other things that are essential for the functioning of your system. Many of these packages are set up differently by Debian and Red Hat, and packages from the different distributions cannot be used interchangably. In general, if you can’t uninstall the package without breaking your system, don’t try to replace it with an alien version. Instructions for Installing RPM Files Using Alien Installing Alien You can install alien itself from the Ubuntu Universe repository by adding the repository to your list of sources and doing: $sudo apt-get update $sudo apt-get install alien Installing the .rpm file To install the .rpm file, you first need to convert it to a .deb file which can be installed on Ubuntu.

  • Master Your Package Management
    TUTORIAL PACKAGE MANAGEMENT LINUX 101: MASTER YOUR TUTORIAL PACKAGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM apt-get, dpkg, yum, zypper… There are many ways to install MIKE SAUNDERS packages on your Linux box. Here’s everything you need to know. ackage management systems are both loved WHY DO THIS? and hated in the Linux world. On the one hand, • Understand how they provide efficient ways to install and packages work and what P exactly they provide remove software, with everything neatly bundled up. • Learn vital admin skills (Contrast this to Windows, where a setup.exe typically to manage packages scatters all sorts of stuff all over your hard drive and outside of the GUI registry, and running the “uninstaller” doesn’t get rid of • Discover how packaging everything. You can even find third-party “uninstall” systems work across other distros tools designed to clean up this hideous mess.) On the other hand, package management systems often make it difficult to get the latest hot new applications. You have to find the right repository for your distribution, and make sure dependencies are satisfied (usually this is automatic, but not always), Here’s the metadata for the Debian Vim package, obtained and so forth. And if you’re completely new to Linux, with the dpkg -I command. Note the highlighted line, you might find all of the terminology here baffling. So showing dependencies. in this tutorial we’ll explore the two main packaging systems used in GNU/Linux distributions, and provide list GTK as a dependency in its metadata. Package some advanced tips and tricks for long-time Linuxers systems normally handle dependencies as well.

  • Installing Ruby on Rails in Linux
    Installing Ruby on Rails in Linux General rules Some general ideas apply throughout the installation. • Each Linux distribution has its own idiosyncrasies. The steps that work with Red Hat Linux don©t necessarily work the same way with SUSE Linux. The same is true for different versions of the same distribution. For example, what works well in Fedora Core 6 may not work exactly the same way in Fedora Core 5. Your best bet is to find your distribution©s most recent version. (I realize that installing the most recent version isn©t always practical. But sometimes, having the most recent version makes the difference between an effortless installation and a pain-in-the-neck installation.) • Some of the steps described in this document can be executed only with root privileges. The best way to get temporary root privileges is to issue a sudo command. For example, to search for all files ending in .rpm, and to do so as the big, powerful root user, open a terminal window and type sudo find / -name *.rpm -print After typing a sudo command, the system asks you for the root user©s password. For newly installed Linux systems, the root password is something that©s simple and well-documented. For example, the root password may be root, or there may be no root password (in which case, you press Enter when you©re prompted for the root password). On established Linux systems (systems that you use at work, for example) you must obtain the root password from your system administrator (after giving the administrator a pound of flesh).
