Comment: Mobian vs Debian vs upstream; still not sure of the best way to say "the Debian level of Mobian" - we can't say "deprecrated for Mobian", since Mobian people are still using this for "upstream Mobian"

Mobian

The Mobian project aims to bring Debian to mobile devices. Over time, the idea is to minimize the Mobian specific pieces by “upstreaming” customization to the original projects. It is maintained by 2 distinct (but overlapping) teams:

  • the Mobian team is responsible for maintaining downstream packages (containing non-upstreamable patches and/or not ready for inclusion into Debian) and non-packaging tasks, such as image generation and distribution

  • the DebianOnMobile team maintains packages which are already part of the Debian archive.
