Librem 5 – End of May Progress (puri.sm)
41 points by kgwxd on May 28, 2019 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments



I'm very excited about the Librem 5 but I'm starting to get the impression that they weren't close to shipping in January 2019. Honestly that's fine as long as the final product is good


I'm curious about "Phoc" replacement of Rootson, is the source available anywhere ?

As stated in the readme, Rootson " does not have particularly clean code and is not particularly well designed " so it makes sense not to use it in production. But there are very few alternative (Wayfire is one alternative but the architecture and API is so confusing that I'd rather use wlroots directly)

Yes, all software developed by Purism for distribution is legally required to be open source. It is in there corporate charter.


I'm asking because Phoc is not on their Gitlab, thus I was wondering if someone knew where Phoc sources are ?
