Download libreboot

+ +

+ Torrent (magnet) links to releases, and links to third-party HTTP mirrors. Use this page + to download libreboot. These are stable releases; for development (unstable) releases, + refer back to the home page. +

+ +

+ This page isn't actually ready yet. For now, the official download page + is at ../docs/release.html. On the next release of libreboot after r20150208, + release archives will no longer be hosted on the libreboot.org HTTP server. Old releases + will be deleted and moved to bittorrent. New releases will also be hosted on bittorrent. +

+ +

+ Why bittorrent? As we all know, bittorrent is inherently more efficient than a HTTP server + for large files, due to its peer-to-peer distributed nature. Libreboot releases are actually much + more efficient now, where ROM images for each machine are separated into their own tar archives. + The old 'binary' archive is now named 'utils'. Documentation is also deleted from 'utils' and 'src' + and now available in a separate archive. All of this means that the user has a much more streamlined + way of getting libreboot releases, with less data to download. Bittorrent will improve this even + further, giving users faster download speeds. +

+ +

+ Bittorrent is also redundant. The libreboot project will not actually host its own tracker at all, + but it will instead use many public trackers and publish the magnet links. The website is also + hosted in git, which means that everything is easier to mirror. If libreboot.org is down, you'll + still be able to download libreboot so long as you have those magnet links. +

+ +

+ Information about these releases can be found under docs/release.html in the libreboot_docs archive + or in the git git repository. See ../docs/release.html. +

+ +

+ It has been suggested to setup RSS feeds for this, so that people can automatically download and seed new releases. + TODO: look into this. +

+ +

+ The magnet links for libreboot releases aren't actually available yet. + It will all be moved later. This page is just a template for the time being. +
