Adjust Parabola to work with _any_ ARM board and adapt/accept _any_
application?
(I guess by "adjusting the apps" Enrique is also referring to adding
custom packages
to something like [pcr])
This needs more clarification:
For most boards we would probably be able to boot Linux-libre and run a
normal
Parabola GNU/Linux system, but I suspect there may be some others that
_require_
custom (and even nonfree) kernels to even work at all!
But there's something else we all know for sure we won't be able to
support: bootloaders.
Platforms like Samsung Exynos _need_ nonfree and signed bootloaders to
work at all. Users
are alone making sure they can boot Parabola from a proprietary
bootloader. I mention this
because I also received Enrique's previous mail off-list days ago, and
if I recall correctly he
is concerned with keeping things 100% free for his project. We can't
magically free all the
software in the odroids.
