Hi everyone, I wanted to update the main list about the current progress on everything. First of all, I have a working ToriOS based on Debian. I have a working ISO of ToriOS based on Debian. AND, OBI now works just as well with this version of ToriOS.
I just pushed an experimental update to our 'firstrun' script. Obviously the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package is NOT available in Debian :) So.... I install a similar set of packages and experimentall install the libdvdcss package from videolan. This can be changed. I also include a warning dialog taken/edited from a few of Debian's pages: There has been a long history of legal concerns when it comes to using various multimedia related software due to software patents. libdvdcss is required for the decryption of CSS (Content Scramble System) protected-DVDs. This cannot be obtained from the Normal repositories due to licence restrictions in various countries. If you are in anyway concered about the legal ramifications that are possible, please cancel this now I hope this gives enough understanding, but anyone who has more expertise can help with this. On to the ISO info. The current Jessie based ISO is 784.3MiB This is still too big, of course by 84.3MiB So, this is not the final version, but we need to test a few things before it is ready anyhow.... I will be uploading this to Phill's server today, it will take a while. All in all, we have a real working alternative to Ubuntu, so no matter what the IP is, we can offer a nice Debian experience for our users. All the debs that one can download (i.e. chrome and other 3rd party apps) should work without issue in Debian. So, we still have the same level of compatibility with major applications and the majority of what users do on a computer. I will e-mail the developers list when the ISO is uploaded and ready to test. -- Regards -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~torios Post to : torios@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~torios More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
