I-Sourceware iyiseva yokubamba amakhodi enikeze amakhosombe amaphrojekthi amaningi wesoftware yamahhala.
Muva nje izindaba zikuqedile lokho I-Sourceware ijoyine i-Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC), ehlinzeka ngokuvikeleka okusemthethweni kwamaphrojekthi amahhala, iphoqelela ilayisensi ye-GPL, futhi ikhuphule izimali zoxhaso.
Kulabo abangazi ngephrojekthi ye-Sourceware, kufanele bazi ukuthi lokhu iphrojekthi ebaluleke kakhulu yemiphakathi eminingi yesofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile, njengoba inikeze iminyaka eminingi, ukuvula amaphrojekthi omthombo, inkundla yokubamba kanye nezinsizakalo ezihlobene nokugcinwa kohlu lwamakheli, ukusingathwa kwamaqoqo e-git, ukulandelela iziphazamisi (bugzilla), ukubuyekezwa kwesichibi (patchwork), ukuhlolwa kokuhlanganiswa (buildbot) kanye ukusatshalaliswa kwezinguqulo.
I-Sourceware Framework isetshenziselwa ukusabalalisa nokuthuthukisa amaphrojekthi afana I-GCC, Glibc, GDB, Binutils, Cygwin, LVM2, elfutils, bzip2, phakathi kwabanye. Ubulungu be-Sourceware be-SFC kulindeleke ukuthi buhehe amavolontiya amasha ukuthi asebenze ekusingatheni futhi aqoqe izimali zokwenza ngcono nokuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda ye-Sourceware.
Mayelana nezindaba, kufanelekile ukusho lokho kusukela ngonyaka odlule i-Sourceware ithole izimemo ezivela i-Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) evela ku-Linux Foundation, lokhu ngenjongo yokuthi i-OpenSSF ihlose ukuthuthukisa ukuvikeleka kwesofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile ngokunikeza amaphrojekthi we-Sourceware nengqalasizinda yesimanje ye-IT.
Phakathi naso sonke lesi sikhathi amanye amalungu omphakathi ka I-Sourceware yesatshwa ngenxa yezizathu ezahlukahlukene zokwamukela usizo lwe-OpenSSF futhi ngenxa yalezi zizathu ezifanayo, mhlawumbe yingakho sithola lezi zindaba ukuthi i-Sourceware ikhethe ukujoyina i-SFC
Esihlokweni esibhalwe yi-SFC mayelana nezindaba, babelana ngokulandelayo:
Ukuba iphrojekthi yelungu le-SFC kuzothuthukisa ukusebenza kwesikhathi esizayo okuqhutshwa amavolontiya azinikele futhi kuqhubekisele phambili umgomo wokubamba isofthiwe yamahhala. Lokhu kuzosheshisa umgwaqo wezobuchwepheshe we-Sourceware ukuze kuthuthukiswe futhi kwenziwe ingqalasizinda ibe yesimanje.
Njengomphathi wezimali we-Sourceware, i-Software Freedom Conservancy izohlinzeka ngendawo yokuqongelela imali, usizo lwezomthetho, kanye nokuphatha okuzozuzisa wonke amaphrojekthi angaphansi kokunakekelwa kwe-Sourceware. Sabelana ngomsebenzi: ukuthuthukisa, ukusabalalisa nokuvikela inkululeko yesofthiwe. Futhi ukunikeza ikhaya elingenandaba nelinobungani lemiphakathi Yamahhala Yesoftware. Sibona ikusasa eliqhakazile sisebenzisana. Njengoba i-TNC ingumxhasi wezezimali, i-Sourceware izokwazi futhi ukuqongelela izimali futhi ibe namavolontiya omphakathi asebenze kanye nosonkontileka abakhokhelwayo futhi ingene ezinkontilekeni zengqalasizinda ephethwe lapho kufanele khona.
Kuyafaneleka ukusho lokho i-SFC ivumela amalungu ukuthi agxile enqubweni yokuthuthukisa ngokusebenzisaUzobamba iqhaza lokuqongelela imali. I-SFC nayo uba umnikazi wempahla yephrojekthi futhi ukhulula abathuthukisi esibophweni somuntu siqu uma kwenzeka icala.
Kubanikeli, inhlangano I-SFC ikuvumela ukuthi uthole ukudonswa kwentela, njengoba iwela esigabeni sentela ekhethwayo. Ukuze uxhumane ne-SFC, i-Sourceware isungule ikomiti eliqondisayo elakhiwe ngabameleli abayi-7.
Sabelana ngomsebenzi: ukuthuthukisa, ukusabalalisa nokuvikela inkululeko yesofthiwe. Futhi ukunikeza ikhaya elingenandaba nelinobungani lemiphakathi Yamahhala Yesoftware. Sibona ikusasa eliqhakazile sisebenzisana.
Ngokusho kwesivumelwano, ukugwema ukungqubuzana kwezintshisekelo, ikomidi alikwazi ukuba namalungu angaphezu kwamabili ahlotshaniswa nenkampani noma inhlangano (ngaphambilini, umnikelo oyinhloko wokuxhaswa kwe-Sourceware wanikezwa ngabasebenzi be-Red Hat, nabo abahlinzeka ngemishini kuphrojekthi, okuvimbele ukukhanga kwabanye abaxhasi futhi kwadala izingxabano ngenxa yokuncika ngokweqile kwenkonzo enkampanini eyodwa).
Ekugcineni kushiwo lokho Umthombo uzoqhubeka ngaphandle kokuguqulwa (okwamanje) nomsebenzi wayo wokuhlinzeka ingqalasizinda yesofthiwe kumaphrojekthi ewasekelayo. Ukusebenzisana kwe-SFC kuzobonakala ku
amaphrojekthi asingathwe ku-Sourceware, njengoba abalawuli bephrojekthi basazongena
izindleko zokuthi basebenzisa kanjani izinsiza ezihlinzekwa yi-Sourceware.
Uma unjalo unentshisekelo yokwazi okwengeziwe ngayo ungabheka imininingwane Kulesi sixhumanisi esilandelayo.
