When testing is in freeze there isn't much going on in unstable either, so a Sid image doesn't make much sense (at least now). But you can dist-upgrade your Wheezy image to Sid at any time as long as you take the precautions that always come with a dist-upgrade.


Can we discuss this in public please - either in this or a new thread?
Solutions in enclosed environments tend to get lost (if they are found there at all).

Agreed! I did an armhf test my self some time ago (roughly at the time of the Wheezy freeze) but the result wasn't stable at all. In most (but not all) cases it resulted in a reboot right when an executable from the chroot was loaded.
On the other hand someone else (I think it was vi) did his own test at about the same time or slightly later and was sucessful. A discussion about that should be burried somewhere in this thread.
I also have to admit that some things concerning ED that differ from a vanilla Debian still are mysteries to me. So I may not be qualified to create an image from scratch.


Does this mean you recompiled /usr/bin/setfocus and /sbin/qobi-wmhint-fix on armhf?
If so, can you please post or link the source code in this thread?


Can you provide precise error messages please?
The Wheezy image I uploaded (plus some simple additional programs like abiword, geeqie, iceweasel) ran absolutely stable during my tests.
But I never tested heavier applications like gimp or GUI system tools like gparted.
(Having no need for that kind off programs myself is part of the reason why I don't want to release images for end-users.)
