Getting all the asahi parts into the debian archive is still in a very early phase. Here we'll try to track the status of components and where they live.

bootloader (only stage2 currently built) |
||
m1n1 payload / EFI, the asahi fork currently contains parts that are likely too invasive for considering patching them into src:u-boot |
||
not packaged yet |
use glanzmanns kernel for now |
|
not packaged yet |
use glanzmanns mesa packages for now, kernel ABI not yet stable so must be kept in sync with kernel |
|
alsa use case manager configuration for asahi |
||
asahi-nvram, asahi-btsync, asahi-wifisync, asahi-bless - utilities for syncing macOS information found in NVRAM |
||
asahi firmware utilities |
||
speaker protection daemon |
||
audio processing to make speakers sound good |
||
LV2 bass enhancement plugin - used by asahi-audio |
||
touchbar (only on some models) |
Note: consider backporting this commit if we don't get a new enough wireplumber in unstable/testing and backports soon. Fixed in wireplumber 0.4.15-2, needs backporting to bookworm-backports.
installer
no installer work has yet started. Use glanzmanns installer. (m1n1 stage1 needed for installer.)
