I've<br>
installed Debian on it in chroot using Lil' Debi. A week ago I decided<br>
to try to make it useful and trying to update to Debian Testing. And<br>
when run "apt-get dist-upgrade", it said that glibc requires Linux<br>
kernel at least 3.2. My phone has 3.0.8 kernel.<br>
<br>
And now I have totally useless piece of metal that can't even run modern<br>
glibc. I know I can install QEMU or something on it but how long QEMU<br>
will support old versions of packages installed on my phone?<br>
<br>
And now I hear that A20 card will be shipped with kernel 3.4. Sure, it's<br>
not lower than 3.2 but how long will glibc support 3.4? What about other<br>
packages?<br>
<br>
You say that EOMA68 is about reducing waste but the lack of support for<br>
mainline kernel means you are selling waste in some people's opinion.<br>
<br>
I'm sorry, this is a perspective of a dumb customer. I have no idea how<br>
much work is needed for mainlining. I just want to say that a lot of<br>
people who don't follow this mailing list will be upset to see old kernel.<br>
