Debian vs Mobian
#1
I started to think about why I was still using the Mobian repo. It looks like most of the dev work is bing done in debian trixie. So, I looked at what was installed.

Code:
apt list phosh* --installed

phosh-common/testing,now 0.45.0-1 all [installed,automatic]
phosh-core/testing,now 44 arm64 [installed,automatic]
phosh-full/testing,now 44 arm64 [installed,automatic]
phosh-games/testing,now 44 all [installed,automatic]
phosh-mobile-settings/testing,now 0.45.0-1 arm64 [installed]
phosh-mobile-tweaks/testing,now 0.45.0-1 all [installed]
phosh-osk-stub/testing,now 0.45.0-1 arm64 [installed]
phosh-pim/testing,now 44 arm64 [installed]
phosh-plugins/testing,now 0.45.0-1 arm64 [installed,automatic]
phosh-tour/testing,now 0.45.0-1 arm64 [installed]
phosh-wallpapers/testing,now 0.42.0-1 all [installed,automatic]
phosh/testing,now 0.45.0-1 arm64 [installed,automatic]

apt list mobian* --installed

mobian-archive-keyring/testing,now 20240504.0 all [installed]
mobian-base/trixie,now 0.5.1 all [installed]
mobian-multimedia/trixie,now 0.5.1 all [installed,automatic]
mobian-phone-base/trixie,now 0.5.1 all [installed]
mobian-phosh-base/trixie,now 0.5.1 all [installed]
mobian-phosh-extras/trixie,now 0.5.1 all [installed,automatic]
mobian-phosh/trixie,now 0.5.1 all [installed]
mobian-tweaks-common/trixie,now 0.6.1 all [installed,automatic]
mobian-tweaks-phosh/trixie,now 0.6.1 all [installed,automatic]

I also have this mobian pin from a year ago.

Code:
cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/00-mobian-priority
Package: *
Pin: release o=Mobian
Pin-Priority: 700

Some or all of these packages may include duplicate code. I'm wondering if I should be using the Mobian repo at all. I've done some ducking to try to get information one way or the other, but found nothing definitive. I've looked on my phone under software/repositories and it no longer lists any software repos (other than flatpak). Upon review many of these packages are meta packages with overlapping requirements.

Is anyone using pure debian?

as a quick editing advise. there is "view source" in a feature bar, where you can edit differently. this forum software is full of bugs, like that spacing bug.

information i mange to gather, mobian repository is still crucial. like kernels are in mobian repository. also some other packages like mobian specific and some tweaks.

Thanks, I'll use this from now on.

Ok, thanks again. I'll leave things as they are.
