Issue #1861

Updated by Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli over 5 years ago

Currently, Replicant advise to use Debian9 in https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/BuildDependenciesInstallation . 

 If we look at https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html , we have: 
 * GnewSense, Ututo: Ututo, Trisquel7: its packages are way too old 
 * GuixSD: probably lacks a lot of packages. Could be deployed on top of existing distribution with Guix package manager. 
 * Parabola: Requires packaging a lot of software to build Replicant with it. 
 * PureOS: Based on debian, has lot of the required packages. Has no i686 version, and doesn't have repo (debian contrib). 
 * Trisquel7: The version of ubuntu it's based on should be able to build Android 6.0 
 * Trisquel8: More recent than Trisque7, probably has very few packages missing. Might be more stable (in the sense that its packages versions do not change) than pureOS. 

 There It would be a good idea to look at what's lacking for Parabola, PureOS and GuixSD. 
 PureOS might be pretty close to what is more documentation on [[Dependencies|Replicant build dependencies]] in the wiki. needed.
