Why create a GNU OS on top of GNU Linux-libre source code build system?
Proposed reasons why it is needed:
- By building a very small collection of programs from source locally, you can be sure that everything compiled is doing what you expect it to do, having absolute control of your packages.
- A good build framework will analyze the code functionally, execute checksums, and validate that the licensing represents free software.
- Post-build, the framework will ideally execute a handful of tests to validate the system as a whole does what is expected of it.
