Thanks for clarifying. > There should be no need. Are you suggesting Freedombox will be using > backports? No. The backport is offered as an aid for potential FreedomBox developers interested in unofficially(!) experiement with Tahoe-LAFS on an otherwise stable system. The debian.jones.dk repository is deliberately *not* signed to emphasize that using backports is dirty and risky. (as a related note, I consider backports.debian.org as dirty too, and find it problematic that Debian has no easy mechanism to flag if an install is dirty - independent on whether _delivery_ of it is safe). In my opinion FreedomBox should be a Debian Pure Blend, which implies that it uses only Debian, is only configured by Debian, and is distributed by Debian. I disagree with your possible suggestion that FreedomBox as shipped to our end-users should use Debian unstable. I feel that only a FreedomBox installed from Debian stable (and *only Debian stable, no addons of any kind) should be considered a stable FreedomBox installation. Yes, that means I expect FreedomBox to take years to mature. Until then we can make various experimental, unstable and testing installs - and dirty unofficial mixtures like installs "infected" with material from the debian.jones.dk repository. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
