The current focus is towards reducing the gap between Mobian and Debian. This
|
|
|
implies:
|
|
|
- avoiding disruptive changes which we know won't be accepted into Debian as
|
|
|
much as possible
|
|
|
- upload packages in Debian where possible
|
|
|
- working with upstream to make sure we can, over time, drop packages from our
|
|
|
archive and rely on Debian's versions instead
|
|
|
|
|
|
Areas requiring more work are:
|
|
|
- propose changes upstream so we can get rid of most of our tweaks, both in
|
|
|
`mobian-tweaks` and `<device>-tweaks` packages
|
|
|
- add support for new devices, both by creating/updating device-specific
|
|
|
kernel packages and by adding corresponding support to `mobian-recipes`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other areas of interest are:
|
|
|
- maintain existing packages by rebasing on new releases on a regular basis
|
|
|
and update/drop patches as needed (keeping an eye on patches by other
|
|
|
projects is also important to ensure we ship the latest improvements and
|
|
|
fixes)

# Packages to be uploaded to Debian
|
|
|
|
|
|
Apart from Mobian-specific packages, we maintain a few packages which could be
|
|
|
generally useful and therefore should be uploaded to Debian. Those packages are:
|
|
|
- `qrtr`, `pd-mapper`, `rmtfs` and `tqftpserv`: needed for Qualcomm SoC's
|
|
|
(configure and communicate with DSP's)
|
|
|
- `calamares-extensions`
|
|
|
- `firefox-esr-mobile-config`
|
|
|
- `powersupply`
|
|
|
- `wake-mobile`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mobian packages we should upload to Debian include:
|
|
|
- `meta-mobian`
|
|
|
- `mobian-tweaks`
|
|
|
- `mobian-plymouth-theme`
|
|
|
- `calamares-settings-mobian`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note most of those packages would need to be cleaned up and possibly
|
|
|
reworked in order to comply with the Debian policy (especially `meta-mobian`
|
|
|
and `mobian-tweaks`).

# Porting to new phones
|
|
|
Due to limited development volunteers, Mobian developers prioritize phones whose companies want to mainline their kernels and share the goals of Mobian.
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, if someone wishes to port over and maintain a new device with Mobian, we can assist with creation of the repositories. Please understand that should you choose to do this, we are asking you to keep maintaining it. |
