  Description     : Generic configuration settings for Mobian

Mobian is a Debian blend targetting mobile devices, such as phones and tablets.

This package provides device-independent configuration files aimed at improving
the user experience on mobile devices, including:
  * initramfs hooks for resizing the rootfs partition on initial boot
  * custom PAM & logind config, and ModemManager polkit permissions
  * diverted desktop files for several applications
  * systemd services for out-of-the-box USB networking, MTP and SD card
    automounting

It will be maintained by the Mobian team.

Hello Arnaud,

Thanks for those ITP.

Could you please explain how you see the interaction between mobian-tweaks/meta-
mobian and existing Debian packages like mobile-tweaks/meta-phosh?

At first glance, there could be some overlap between mobile-tweaks and mobian-
tweaks (not sure?) so I would like to get the scope right of mobian-tweaks so
that everyone is on the same page.

Best regards,

Hello Henry-Nicolas,

either because they're controversial, or because they're too specific.

It depends on mobile-tweaks-common, so you could think of it as
"advanced customization". It includes some of the tweaks we dropped from
mobile-tweaks (ModemManager polkit override, .desktop files diversions)
as they were not a proper solution for Debian, and other ones as well
(e.g. USB gadget auto-configuration with networking and MTP) which I
believe would be too intrusive/sensitive for mobile-tweaks.

Same goes with meta-mobian: it builds on top on meta-phosh, but is
"designed" as a distribution (including low-level system services and
components), having multiple options for the DE; for now it's phosh
only, but we plan to offer a plasma-mobile and a lomiri flavor at some
point, and the corresponding metapackages will be part of meta-mobian too.

In the end, mobian-tweaks/meta-mobian are just another layer on top of
mobile-tweaks/meta-phosh, and there should be no overlap: mobian
packages will track changes in mobile-tweaks/meta-phosh and adapt to those.

Having those packages in Debian is a step towards making Mobian a
"Debian Pure Blend", and won't conflict with either of the existing
packages as it's designed as a separate layer on top of what we already
have.

Best regards,
Arnaud
