Limitation of the plug in terms of applications
Posted: Sun Sep 05, 2010 1:39 pm
Hello,
I am not sure where to put this message but as it concerns plug computer I will put it here. It can be moved if necessary (or deleted if preferred)
Following a discussion on the IRC with cburner and bigfoot it appears that Fedora support for ARM is rather limited
for the time being. It is apparently quite new for them so that might explain it.
Because of that lots of applications will not work when you use Amahi on a plug.
This has nothing to with Amahi which itself work very well on my guruplug.
Debian on the other hand does support ARM processor to very high degree and on the face of it would seem like a good idea to use it for the Amahi plug version.
Now I realise that doing this is not an easy task (well I guess not) but it can't be impossible either
So here I am with my guruplug which works well but lacks applications.
Now I am probably naive but I was wondering if I couldn't use it to help in "porting" Amahi to Debian?
So what do the dev think? is it worth spending some time or is it just diverting too much resources and wasting people's time?
