FreedomBox Weekly Image Report

Introduction

Hi folks, welcome to the Nth weekly FreedomBox test image and progress report.

These images include several FreedomBox-related projects. The changes are changes made by project contributors in the last week that have made it into the test image. The outstanding TODOs are the changes needed before the beta-release is complete. If you’d like to contribute in any way, fork and send me a pull request.

The image is available at:

Today’s image was produced with:

$ make weekly-image

How do I try it out?

There are two ways you can test it out. The easy way is to use VirtualBox and run the image in a virtual machine. These instructions have more details:

http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/VirtualBoxImages

You can also install the image to your DreamPlug directly. If you’ve bought your own DreamPlug, you’ll probably need to flash the firmware, which requires a JTAG. Follow these instructions:

Verification

You can validate that the files have been downloaded correctly and haven’t changed since I’ve published them by checking the files’ signatures.

First, download my key:

$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key D95C32042EE54FFDB25EC3489F2733F40928D23A

Then, verify each file’s signature:

The checksums for each file, useful for additional verification, also follow.
