Nick - The Debian version for Raspberry PI has hardware floating point support
in their kernel. They support Python and PHP out of the box with .deb complied
for the platform. What I was looking for is a list of the Debian tools that
were going to be used on the Freedom Box platform and if there were any source
.deb packages available to support those tools. I have downloaded with Git
Extensions the privoxy, Plinth, Freedom Maker and Freedom Buddy so that I can
build the programs on the Raspberry PI platform natively. I was just hoping
that the source packages existed so that they could be added to the standard
build tree and made available for downloading and installing just a easy as on
the Freedom Box Platform. Thank you for the prompt reply as this has given me
a direction to go.

Subject: Re: [Freedombox-discuss] deb list for what is being included in
freedom box
Right now, there aren't .deb files for every project we use. You can
build your own .deb for FreedomBox's Privoxy [0]. Adding .debs to the
rest of the projects, so that you can turn any box into a FreedomBox by
installing a couple packages is an incomplete release goal. If you know
your way around packaging, you're welcome to help.
To build the package, just run:
$ make deb
If you're good with code and want to try building an entire disk image
From scratch, check out the Freedom Maker project [1]. The "shiny"
branch has a few more experimental enhancements than the main branch
does. If you know what the Pi's architecture is (I looked, but couldn't
find it) should be possible to build an image for that architecture.
Copy the ``multistrap-configs/fbx-armel.conf`` file and edit it
appropriately for the Pi's architecture. Then, run:
$ make ARCHITECTURE=(Pi's architecture) plugserver-image
No guarantee it'll work, but it'll sure try to. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN
DONE BEFORE SO IT PROBABLY WON'T BOOT. If it doesn't, we can try to
help you debug the issue, but we can't guarantee when we'll get it
working.
