Description Zombie Ryushu 2012-09-30 00:43:13 CEST

FOG is a Linux-based, free and open source computer imaging solution for Linux. It can Image Windows based OSes, but it can also be used to mass deploy dozens of workstations in mere minutes.

 FOG doesn't use any boot disks, or CDs; everything is done via TFTP and PXE. Also with fog many drivers are built into the kernel, so you don't really need to worry about drivers (unless there isn't a linux kernel driver for it). FOG also supports putting an image that came from a computer with a 80GB partition onto a machine with a 40GB hard drive as long as the data is less than 40GB.

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

This can't be packed as it violates our policies.

Quote from https://fogproject.org/download
"To install FOG Project, an internet connection is required. During installation, it will download other binaries and install any needed dependencies."

There is no single distribution which provides this package in any repository.

Closing as WONTFIX.
