-Description:
+This repo aims to build a small personnal distro based on Debian.
-This project aims to build an operating system that is easy to
-maintain and reliable, while still being able to provide what
-end-users (or at least me) wants: softwares that are recent enough,
-but can not render the whole system inoperable.
-It also aims to be easy to manage and customize, while trying to
-give choice to the user.
+It targets powerusers. If you don't know how to script, don't use this.
-See doc/SCOPE for more informations.
+Main goals:
+
+* based on runit-init + busybox;
+* code maintainable by a small group of persons;
+* release-based, stable core with the possibility of having a more volatile user
+ environment (for desktops);
+* POSIX portable binaries as much as possible;
+* read-only root;
+
+Non goals:
+
+* package everything;
+* being generic;
+* being lightweight (but it might be the result of real goals);

-Goals:
-
-* Core stability;
-* Core portability;
-* Up-to-date «userland» but rock-solid core;
-* Allow users to install softwares locally, and allow admins to
- easily know the divergences between the «default-state» and one
- or more users;
-* Read-only core system by default;
-* Fully usable without mouse;
-* Meaningful logs;
-* Ease of automation;
-* Distributed system;
-* RSN (Reputed Safe Network) oriented;
-* Maintainable by a One-man-army;
-* Clear and complete documentation (including examples for every
- manpage);
-* Reproducible builds, as many as possible static analysis of every
- statement;
-
-Non-Goals:
-
-* Feature complete;
-* Ease of use;
-* Lightweight;
-* Bleeding edge stuff;
-* Universal use, server use, high-performance single systems;
-* Security against MiRSN (Man in Reputed Safe Network) attacks;
-* Following fashion;
-
-Target public:
-
-Mostly programmers, but also hackers, sysadmins, powerusers... but
-only of those wishing to be able to understand the "fullstack",
-from booting firmware to user's environment, passing through an
-authority system, and work with really portable stuff.
