This page lists the packages we think would be useful to Mobian users. Feel free to edit it by:
- adding new nice-to-have packages
indicate you're working on a specific package (please provide the Salsa repo URL if possible) and update its status
remove packages already uploaded and accepted into Debian
Graphical environments
Plasma Mobile
The debian-pm project hosts downstream packaging, with no intention to submit/maintain those into Debian, unfortunately. These repos can however be used as a basis for actual packaging of this environment and maintained within the KDE/Qt team (although some packages, such as maliit-framework and maliit-keyboard, are maintained by the UBPorts team).
- Required packages to import:
plasma-settings: settings app (example package not suitable for Debian)
WIP: plasma-mobile: core Plasma Mobile package (WIP packaging)
- Partly useful:
plasma-phone-settings: config tweaks, mostly aimed at libhybris-based systems; could be stripped down and distributed as plasma-mobile-tweaks similar to the existing phosh-mobile-tweaks (example package not suitable for Debian)
Core applications: in particular, the following "essential" packages are needed for mobile phones:
Plasma Mobile Dialer: phone calls
Plasma Mobile Phonebook: contacts
Spacebar: SMS/MMS
QMLKonsole: terminal
Other third-party software
mobile-config-firefox (packaged for Mobian as firefox-esr-mobile-config)
calamares-extensions: WIP (salsa repo), RFS sent
postmarketos-tweaks (could/should probably be renamed, see upstream issue)
powersupply (existing Mobian packaging)
wake-mobile (existing Mobian packaging): probably not worth it as it's not expected to stay around
Headlines: GTK4/libadwaita C++ based Reddit client (BLOCKED on an outdated dependency)
Banking: GTK4/libadwaita Banking application using the FinTS standard
Markets: GTK3/libhandy application to track stock market prices etc (existings packaging)
Mobian packages
meta-mobian (needs to be reworked, best to wait for the mobian-tweaks/mobile-tweaks refactor and merge)
calamares-settings-mobian (needs calamares-extensions first)
mobile-initramfs-tools: coordinate w/ Cloud team for growcrypt and resize-rootfs
mobile-usb-networking: interesting comments on the ML, heavy rework needed
not an urgent issue, it can stay in Mobian only for a while (only rdeps are <device>-support Mobian packages)
mobian-keyring: done, currently in NEW
Debian packages needing action
cawbird: need to fix autopkgtest to transition to testing
https://github.com/CodedOre/NewCaw (temporary repo for Cawbird 2)
pixman: new upstream release soon (issue)? else backport merged aarch64 patches (MR already on salsa, to be updated)
tootle: debugging gtk/libadwaita errors and uploading new version
giara: debugging gtk/libadwaita errors and uploading new version
xkeyboard-config: new upstream release tagged on 2022-06-02, will drop our patched package once released in Debian and migrated to testing
f2fs-tools: new upstream release tagged on 2022-05-13, will drop our patched package once released in Debian and migrated to testing
Debian native packages
Those are Debian-only packages (or packages for which Debian is upstream) we have patches for, and wish to upstream said patches:
config fragments patch MR open, to be posted on the BTS as well
need to rework the "auto-sync DTBs" patch and post it
rust-zram-generator: MR opened for updating to latest upstream version (will replace zram-tools for configuring zram swap)
