Re: Regarding a New Project idea for Debian Med
Hi Prakhar,
Glad to hear you are still going ahead. Maybe it is a good idea to
start with LFS, since you appear to be acquainted with it. The Debian
route is smarter, long term, but we have covered that point.
Are there packages in your distro that are not yet in Debian-Med? If
so, you could make the build scripts available so we can have a look,
assuming there is anything of interest.
Pj.
