Distributions

Debian-openlogo-480.png Debian GNU/Linux

Debian is a universal operating system used on many other embedded devices, and also on home computers. Using Debian on the FreeRunner gives access to the huge army of software packaged in the Debian repositories, already compiled for the Neo's arm(v4) processor. Moreover, one can build one's own source files for programs without having to learn the OpenEmbedded way. For an existing Debian/Ubuntu user, choosing Debian for Neo FreeRunner makes phone a very familiar, trustworthy and flexible place to hack in.

  • A new e17 snapshot has been uploaded to Debian (0.7.0.49898)
  • The remaining SHR packages are prepared for main inclusion (they will probably arrive some days after this community update): libphoneui-shr, phoneuid, phoneui-apps
  • Intone got updated to the most current revision (r77)
  • FoxtrotGPS was uploaded to Debian main archive and replaced TangoGPS
  • fso-gsmd is still depending on vala version that is only in the experimental branch, and therefore not compiled for FreeRunner yet
