V.K.Vallinayagam <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: other
Other License: I want to have the same licensing like the Debian-OS project. 
Since essentially this is a distribution project or "tools to come up with a 
distribution".  I am not sure which one to pickup. I would like to have the 
same license as Debian. Please recommend.
Package: ezpipe linux
System name: ezpipix
Type: non-GNU

Description:
  This is a project to bring a linux distribution that employs XML. So that 
different pieces can integrate smoothly.

  I plan to call it 'ezpipe linux' to symbolise that. Traditional unix programs 
write ascii streams in their output and the program at the other end end of 
pipe, had to do string manipulation gymnastics, to get their output. 'ezpipe 
linux' removes that need. information extraction from output is a easy because 
all the information is structured on XML.

  "ezpipe linux"  is backward compatible with existing conventions. The 
information format for nearly all needs will also be available in XML. For 
example. there will be an XML version of every config file. There will be xml 
version of output for most programs. There will be xml version of input for 
every program. There will be a XML version for the documention .

  For newer programs, only XML format can be supported. For existing programs, 
XML format is supported, along with existing formats.

  This project plans to achieve this by developing tools and wrapper programs 
to accomplish that. It i splanned to be a derivative of debain distribution.

   This project also shares lot of vision with the following project.

http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Forum/6751/.

    But the above project is in discussion mode.I felt it is too important to 
just in discussion mode. So I planned to start on it. This distribution will be 
based on debian. I already have some scripts to accomplish this XML interface 
wrapping for my very critical programs.

Other Software Required:
This is planned to be a debian-based distribution. Presently it uses debian 
based fre software tools.
