Group: Software/FSDG distributions/DistroUpstreamSupport

Introduction

This wiki page tracks support for various FSDG compliant distributions in various upstream projects.

Having support in these upstream projects can make it easier to try and/or install various FSDG compliant distributions for people that don't use one yet.

Though if FSDG compliant distributions use these programs, they might have to patches them if they are configured to use repositories that have nonfree software in them. See ExternalRepositories instead for tracking the status of external repositories in FSDG distributions and CrossDistroBootstrap for tracking how to bootstrap the installation of an FSDG compliant distribution from another FSDG compliant distribution.
