In my opinion, what should be simply done is a fusion with Debian ARM distribution. It\'s not the first time I say this and Sash will perhaps recognize me (IRC or Zaurus Forum...).
What I mean with this fusion:
- finish ipkg so it becomes completely stable and could manage correctly .deb files.
- add some libraries to be more Debian compatible and add package dependency so ipkg could completely replace Debian one by .ipk package.
- Tell to all user winning for a package: \"it\'s in Debian repository. If you want something smaller, just build it and upload the source and the binary in our incoming directory\".
- Take
http://www.emdebian.org control so Debian could begin to have a real voice in embedded market other than \'extract files and do it by hands\'. Of course, only if they want to.
And the most important:
- refuse to open CVS write access to the base system for anyone other than those that have prouved their value during more than 6 months (6 months of contribution and submitted patches).
- do things like they think they should do it (like any PC distro today) and use/include software builded by other people and coming from other website. They need only to work on the base system and not on the wall thing (that shouldn\'t prevent them from building good tools or other thing, sure).
- listen to users but with a very strong reflexion because most of them are simple Trolls here (saying that it\'s a shame because there\'s no synchronisation with Outlook although the system just emerge and need to be fixed for exemple).
- list task that could need works and perhaps ask for maintainers like on Debian. I\'m talking about the wall purged application set and not the base system.
That\'s it! Someone desagree? I\'m already have an idea about whom.
