This task is in the list of maemo.org development proposals, please help planning and getting it ready for a sprint. Put a note on the talk page if you're interested in helping work on this task. Please see the talk page for discussion. |

A community-provided distribution of Maemo.
Goals
Provide a community distribution less encumbered by Nokia's corporate policies, more flexible in its packaging of OS files, and bundling community software versions.
Tasks
To get to a workable distribution, we first need to consider a number of problems.
Sort out a repository
It would be preferable to simply distribute all packages in Extras, but this adds complexity and may simply be impossible to do cleanly. The next option is to use a separate repository either on repository.maemo.org or a 3rd party repository somewhere else.
osso-software-version-community
We need to provide a community version of osso-software-version that has a modified dependencies list that provides the community distribution.
