Re: Debian Mobile: MeeGo on Debian (for N900?)
 

thank you! I think we will soon know which non-free packages are most incompatible with Debian and for which workaround are impossible. They would be the candidates with highest-priority.

This thread http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...9&postcount=31
is an example of how to setup a chroot for beginners.
It would be nice if we could get qole involved in the project.
He knows a lot about how to adapt Debian to run on the N900.

and on this day Mæbian is born

Re: Debian Mobile: MeeGo on Debian (for N900?)
 

a similar project idea and name was discussed before
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=22557
I don't know whether the project became Mer, EasyDebian or died.

some other ideas for a name: DebiaN900, Debian900 or Debian/900

Re: Debian Mobile: MeeGo on Debian (for N900?)
 

Long story short: We tried to take Debian, shape it into mobile usage without tearing apart the base system. Result: Deblet, Horrid battery usage, horrid user interface and incompatibility with Maemo GTK+/Hildon applications.

We decided Maemo had a reason to be like it was, and then Mer was born.

Seems to be an active thread, so have a look at: http://www.linuxuk.org/2010/02/the-n...buntu-devices/
Summary: Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix will have ARM support! I'm looking forward to boot into it...

Re: Debian Mobile: MeeGo on Debian (for N900?)
 

My experience is that Debian Lenny packages seem more compatible with their Maemo counterparts, such as gconf and pulseaudio. You'll have a better chance at success if you start with Lenny and selectively upgrade to Squeeze until something breaks...

full on support man. even it cost me $50 to upgrade i would happily paying for it.

Re: Debian Mobile: MeeGo on Debian (for N900?)
 

What I would like to do is - have minimal system that contains nokia original binaries - at least some of them - but bound to debian infrastructure so additional packages installable from there.

Why this should result into increased battery usage and/or incompatibilities? It looks like a packaging question for me...

http://mer-project.blogspot.com/2010...redshirts.html has some comments that might be of interest to you people, in order to not duplicate work. You can tag on, but I think it's fair to warn you that for N900, it's better to contribute to MeeGo. For N8x0, we're doing Mer^2 out of need.
