Somehow related to the RPM thing and LPIA. There are some facts: 1. we know that Ubuntu/Canonical has been doing a great job in the past to get the lpia packages in moblin1 2. We also know that moblin2 is not going to be a full distro and that there are other OSVs that will do this job (afaik, Ubuntu is one of them, the rest are not so clear or transparent) My question is therefore, how hard is to provide those RPMs also in DEB format so it will be easier for debian based platforms to use the new Moblin2 framework? It will be nice to also provide the debian packages at a very low cost and almost no resources allocation from Intel. All you need to do is, for example, use the launchpad PPA for this job, so when an Intel developer pushes something to the moblin2 repos to also dput the thing to launchpad. This way you don't even need to bother with creating a new build environment and it uses LPIA architecture by default. I am just thinking that we had in Moblin1 a set of applications and libraries and now, with the RPM, we have a dropped that number and forced people to change environments, not to mention the i586 architecture, library issues and generally I feel like this whole thing is a step back in time when Moblin1 was started...
