Issue #1861
Updated by Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli about 7 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, 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).
* 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.
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 needed.
