Announcing the Mobian project

[a-wai]

Thanks everyone for all your kind words, this is really heart-warming

Have you spoken with some Debian folk on whether all of it could eventually get into official Debian?

TBH, there'll probably always be packages that have to be kept outside of Debian: either because they contain changes that would affect desktop or server users, or because it's too much device-specific, or even because it's not mainlined (yet).
If you look at the gitlab group, here's what I believe will happen:
- everything in the "packages" subgroup will make its way into Debian at some point (but it will take time)
- under "devices", pinephone-linux and pinephone-u-boot will probably be replaced by standard Debian packages once all the required patches are mainlined
- other packages (basically, mobian-* and pinephone-*) will probably never make it to the main Debian archive as they're way too specific

At least that's the current status, we'll keep discussing and hopefully find solutions along the way

Does the project accept donations? i will like to support the project, better in bitcoin if possible hehe

Sure, head over to https://liberapay.com/mobian/ (and yes, we also accept bitcoin)
We'll add a button on the website to make it easier
