Other License: 
Package: eXtra Access Operating System - whatever
System name: xaos
Type: GNU

Description:
I am probably nuts, but I am trying to set up a automated linux from scratch 
system using ant. The automation is done using ant/gcj (already works, but 
libgcj is still buggy). I haven\'t sorted the effects of the Apache license out 
yet. All scripts are xml (because it uses apache). The aim is to create a 
package management system and a better integration of java into linux. Future 
plans is to dump as much as possible into a database (is that safe?)



Other Software Required:
gcj (preferably 3.3) is the main target, a lot of stuff depends on code from 
jakarta.apache.org code base. linux is the target for the system itself.

Other Comments:
the idea is to create a new distro heavily integrated with xml as to provide 
easier configuration and management, currently I am trying to port tomcat to 
work native. think about things like creating new ant scripts using a 
webinterface, creating a new database based mailer (postgres), expand the 
codebase of java based on gtk2.

you might ask why java? well it doesn\'t really matter what you use as a 
language, but at the moment that\'s my forte. the distro is meant to give more 
power to regular users and provide easier access to things like makefiles and 
configure options.
