What exactly is the aim of this project?
  • Do you guys want to run Fremantle on other devices?
  • Are you porting hildon-desktop to run on other OSes?
  • Or are you guys upgrading the N900 to a newer kernel?

All of these have been mentioned before and attempted with some results, so I'm not sure which one is it this time. And what's the current status?

Just out of curiosity.
The idea is to take as much as we can from fremantle. And then make that run on a modern 'base'. In this case: devuan/debian.

That means that you should be able to run this devuan/debian on your N900 and then install the stuff ported over from fremantle. That likely will also mean we can start using a mainline kernel.

But the N900 is not the only target device. Also arm tablet(s), the arm droid4 phone, and perhaps even intel tablets of some kind.

Makes sense?
