There is a new project raising, at the moment in the phase of crowdfunding, to bring a normal Linux system to a new hardware of a mobile (i.e. the project is open hardware plus open Linux, not with Android blobs). It is here: https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ and they have already reached 91% of the goal and have 15 days left. I supported the project by ordering one complete device, it's a risk but money risked for a good sense. This device, due to it's software stack, would perhaps allow to port libpurple to it. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ g...@unixarea.de, ⌂ http://www.unixarea.de/ ☎ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub
