Summary:Run Debian on your phone
Description:
Want an easy Debian chroot running that you can trust? Install Lil’ Debi, and
you can have a Debian install running with a single click of a button. It
builds up a whole Debian chroot on your phone entirely using debootstrap. You
choose the release, mirror, and size of the disk image, and away it goes. It
could take up to an hour on a slow device, then it's done.
It includes gpgv and the Debian repository keys in the apk and verifies the
packages it downloads in the first stage of debootstrap before installing
them. It will also check and update a SHA1 checksum to make sure your
debian.img file has not be tampered with.

Then it has a simple chroot manager that fscks your disk, mounts/unmounts
things, starts/stops sshd if you have it installed, etc. You can also then use
‘apt-get’ to install any package that is released for ARM processors. This
includes things like a complete real shell, Tor, TraceRouteTCP,
iwconfig/ipconfig, and other security and crypto tools.
Works well with [[jackpal.androidterm]]—just run `/debian/shell` to get a
Debian shell.

The aim of Lil’ Debi is to provide a transparent and tightly integrated Debian
install on your Android device. It mounts all of your Android partitions in
Debian space, so you see a fusion of both systems. It's even possible to have
Lil’ Debi launch the normal Debian init start-up scripts when it starts, so
that all you need to do is apt-get install and any servers you install will
just work.

Lil' Debi works with as few modifications to the Android system as
possible. Currently, it only adds a /bin symlink, and a /debian mount
directory. It does not touch /system at all.

This is built from source by f-droid except for the gpgv part which can be
built from the instructions in the
[http://gitorious.org/f-droid/fdroiddata/blobs/master/metadata/info.guardianproject.gpg.txt metadata]
in the fdroiddata repo. See the website for full usage instructions: or try
running $su then #debian#shell in
[[jackpal.androidterm]] after mounting the image.

Please do try it out, use it, and report criticisms, bugs, improvements, etc.

Requires root: Yes, because it needs to run debootstrap, create dirs in /,
mount/umount, etc.
