你是狂热的自由软件支持者吗?你目前在使用任何基于 Arch 的 Linux 发行版吗?我有一个小小的提示送给你!现在,你可以轻松地在 Arch Linux 及其变体(如 Antergos、Manjaro Linux 等)中找到已安装的专有软件包。你无需在已安装软件包的网站中参考其许可细节,也无需使用任何其它外部工具来查明软件包是自由的还是专有的。(LCTT 译注:其实下面还是借助了一个外部程序)
在 Arch Linux 中查找已安装的专有软件包
一位开发人员开发了一个名为 “Absolutely Proprietary” 的实用程序,它是一种用于基于 Arch 发行版的专有软件包检测器。它将基于 Arch 系统中的所有安装包与 Parabola 的软件包 blacklist 和 aur-blacklist 进行比较,然后显示出你的斯托曼自由指数(“自由/总计”比分)。此外,你可以将该列表保存到文件中,并与其他系统/用户共享或比较。
在安装之前,确保你安装了 Python 和 Git。
然后,git clone
仓库:
git clone https://github.com/vmavromatis/absolutely-proprietary.git
这条命令将会下载所有内容到你当前工作目录中的 absolutely-proprietary
目录。
进入此目录:
cd absolutely-proprietary
接着,使用以下命令查找已安装的专有软件:
python main.py
这条命令将会下载 blacklist.txt
、aur-blacklist.txt
,并将本地已安装的软件包与远程软件包进行比较并显示其指数。
以下是在我的 Arch Linux 桌面的示例输出:

Save list to file? (Y/n)
如你所见,我的系统中有 47 个专有软件包。就像我说的那样,我们可以将它保存到文件中稍后查看。为此,当提示你将列表保存在文件时,请按 y
。然后按 y
接受默认值,或按 n
以你喜欢的格式和位置来保存它。
Save list to file? (Y/n) y
Save as markdown table? (Y/n) y
Save it to (/tmp/tmpkuky_082.md): y
The list is saved at /home/sk/absolutely-proprietary/y.md
You can review it from the command line
using the "less -S /home/sk/absolutely-proprietary/y.md"
or, if installed, the "most /home/sk/absolutely-proprietary/y.md" commands
你可能已经注意到,我只有 nonfree 包。它还会显示另外两种类型的软件包,例如 semifree、 uses-nonfree。
- nonfree:这个软件包是公然的非自由软件。
- semifree:这个软件包大部分是自由的,但包含一些非自由软件。
- uses-nonfree:这个软件包依赖、推荐或不恰当地与其他自由软件或服务集成。
该使用程序的另一个显著特点是它不仅显示了专有软件包,而且还显示这些包的替代品。
