I don't mind having an ARM port of gNewSense, but I lack the time (and hardware) to do it myself. If you want to maintain it in the long term, then you have my support. By maintaining I mean dealing with the quirks of the platform whenever a build fails and testing if binaries and especially the installer(s) work. If I can have ssh access to a machine I wouldn't mind doing the builds myself.
The process goes something like: 1) Identify problematic packages and blacklist them 2) Patch the source where possible 3) Build a source package 4) Build binary packages on i386, amd64 and mipsel (Yeeloong) using pbuilder 5) Upload source and binary packages to repo server 6) Run debderiver To start a new release, the base packages (base-files etc.) are built in Debian chroots until we can debootstrap something that calls itself gNewSense. Then the base packages and everything after that are rebuilt in gNewSense chroots. Let me know if you need more information. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
