## AI overview

A May 2022 Mobian development update covers monthly developer meetings, planned repository and developer-wiki moves toward Debian infrastructure, kernel and audio fixes, universal images for PinePhone devices, tow-boot limitations on PineTab, and a PinePhone Keyboard driver change.

## Source excerpt

This is the first in a (hopefully) series of short blog posts summarizing what has happened in Mobianland. Given that Mobian integrates much of the ecosystem not developed by us, this report could reiterate many of the things being said somewhere else. Monthly dev meeting Despite being located all over the world (really!), we manage to meet in person once a month. Well, ok, "meet in person" means we conduct a jitsi video call. It is fun seeing all these sleepy faces where half of the people would like to go to bed already, while others wished they could have remained in bed longer. The TL;DR: we will attempt to move over more repositories from gitlab to salsa.debian.org (given gitlabs changes to the CI allowance we get, and in an attempt to align ourselves closer to Debian). In a similar move, the developer's wiki (NOT the user wiki) moves over to the Debian wiki. pondering if systemd-repart and systemd-growfs can maybe replace "growroot" We really should be opening a user-contrib section or something where contributed ports and kernels can live, e.g. for the Nexus 5. Planning stage. OnePlus 6 / Pocophone F1 Audio was broken due to a missing config option on 5.17 kernels, and was fixed by a subsequent update. Thanks to everyone who reported this issue and provided the information allowing us to fix it. Universal Images We have a universal mobian image that boots on the original Pinephone and the Pinephone Pro, however, there are still some bugs to iron out and kernel configs to be adapted. But overall, this looks promising. However, this will require some tool that can adapt configuration settings at runtime, based on the device it is currently running on. Tow-boot We were one of the earliest distributions to move over to tow-boot, and that worked out nearly well. However, there is a little catch: There is no tow-boot for the PineTab yet. So all images post-March 27, will not be able to install a U-boot if you have non installed yet. Help to port tow-boot to the Pin
