To add some details at what we are doing in the process of bringing Tizen into Debian/Canaima, here are some of the steps we've made so far: 1.- Download and decompress all RPM Sources from tizen repository, that is the tizen-main[1] and tizen-base[2]. 693 source packages in total. 2.- Classify the packages in to three groups: - Source packages that are debianized (have a debian/ folder). - Source packages that are not debianized but are in Debian. - Source packages that are not debianized and are not in Debian. 3.- Started the process of packaging the ones that are debianized, collecting the ones that are in Debian and debianizing the rest of them.
