Request for Ultimate Edition Debian

[Zaileion]

Instead of writing a huge post on a bunch of opinion about Ubuntu and friends i will simply inquire if there are any plans to move to a debian build?

I noticed on the tmosb instruction page there was a single sentenance mention of possible debian builds...

Ultimte Edition Debian would truely be the Ultimate OS!!

[TheeMahn]

It is there, however untested. I built a powerpc version of Ultimate Edition in the past, no longer works. Ubuntu ripped down porting via debootstrap. I doubt I would have to worry about Debian tearing down their debootstrap server. Let me roll a request on one of our build servers and see what I get.

Never finished it, I have alot on my plate right now. I will come back and hit it full force once I get bugs worked out in Ultimate Edition.

See another issue to fix, tmosb will build up to Ultimate Edition 4.7. That is not reflected in the help system. Running Ultimate Edition 4.6 now for over a month w/o issue. I booted 4.7 server this eve. Not minimal server full. Work to do there as well. There is I am sure over 12,000 lines of code in tmosb. Will probably double when I get into Debian.

Please be patient with me.

TheeMahn,

Best things come to those who wait, quality work takes time.

Thank you for a fantastic distribution.

[Pierre]

now that Debian has released 'jessie,' it would real nice, if there was a Ultimate Edition based upon that

- but great things come to those who can wait. ..

[Reticent]

now that Debian has released 'jessie,' …

While an unpolished #.0 release is nice; I prefer waiting for at least one bugs-fix point-release.
