<br>
FreedomBox has been a Debian Pure Blend for quite sometime now with all<br>
necessary bits present in the Debian repositories. However, it has not<br>
been using the blends framework. I believe it would be good to start<br>
using the blends framework.<br>
<br>
There two main reasons I see for do this:<br>
<br>
- FreedomBox can join other blends in getting listed in the Debian<br>
Installer whenever that happens. This would increase the ease of<br>
installation for users installing FreedomBox after installing Debian. It<br>
would also provide more exposure to the project.<br>
<br>
- The task and bug pages that all blends have will help FreedomBox focus<br>
better on new packaging tasks and identifying areas of contribution with<br>
existing packages. Currently, we only have a wiki page[1] that is<br>
slightly less static.<br>
<br>
The core packages needed by FreedomBox are already dependencies of the<br>
'freedombox' package. Additional apps are selected by the user from the<br>
FreedomBox web interface. Despite this difference compared to other<br>
blends, the above reasons seem good enough to start using the blends<br>
framework.<br>
<br>
I have started creating the blends metapackage[2]. This git repository<br>
can be hosted by the FreedomBox project and shared with the blends team<br>
(or vice versa).<br>
<br>
I am looking for feedback and suggestions.<br>
