Mainstream Linux Alignment
Let's list here bugs and enhancement requests relating to the Maemo architecture and its proximity/compatibility with mainstream linux standards. The progress on these tasks should bring easier life for application developers and also to platform developers willing to close ties with Debian, Ubuntu, etc.
Useful information:
- Maemo Compared to Desktop Linux Distributions
- Essential Packages and Delta to Standard Debian Systems
