Re: DebiaN900 - A set of scripts to facilitate the installation of native Debian (WIP)
 
@sulu: Not really at the moment. FPTF is more about getting what we've got running on another device, I'm aiming more towards getting a Maemo-like interface up and running using a different base. I want to use gtk3 and/or qt5 for UI so that breaks a lot of existing packages. More like investigating the options for a Maemo 6/7 as opposed to working towards 5.x.

The packages I'm using avoid some of the closed source components but at what cost I'm yet to fully determine. I could have gone Cordia route and just put interface on top of Mer/Nemo but I prefer dpkg over rpm for packaging.

At the moment it's just a personal project for me, until I can ascertain what is needed to take it further. If there is anything that is beneficial to FPTF then I'm more than happy to lend a hand if available.

Interesting, just by following this thread I found that there are at least 3 people(FTPF not counting) working on rebasing maemo on top of Debian. And the question is obvious, why not cooperate ?

I'm in the middle of a apartment move (which is incidentally good for taking account of where everything I own is), so it may take a short while, but I have a N900 surplus and I'd like to fix your N900 deficit.

PM me so I have a reminder.

Thank you very much for your offer. I have asked the Neo900 team if they can provide me with a Mozilla donated N900. If nothing comes of it, I will gladly take you up on your offer. Thanks again and welcome to TMO!

Nice idea. I would be happy to cooperate with anything that helps with improving the Debian mobile experience. My experiment however is substantially different from Android_808 and Aapo's rebase work. My plan is to use LXC and OverlayFS (recently mainlined) to run Fremantle in a container. It should be quite feasible, I just haven't really spent any time on it yet.

Sounds like a brilliant idea! :)

Let's see what Jörg say re. a N900 for you. If it doesn't work out I'll gladly send some money your way.

My approach was
* get rid everything Nokia messed
* merge to Debian everything Nokia did well

I never got (any) gles-driver working with kernel 3.X. Lately I have been busy with other things.

this is the kernel on https://gitorious.org/linux-n900/fre...9718ae78a33c8: (the "upstream", not my clone, should work as well)

I don't remember:
Did you try to merge Fremantle's UI? I think that's something Nokia did very well.
I remember the hildon package in Squeeze being a fubar version of Chinook or Diablo and Debian's matchbox being mostly unuseable.

Yes and yes.
I got Hildon-desktop (cordia patched) compiled and running top of Jessie running on N900:

Thus seems I haven't posted step-by-step instructions or links to the sources.
