Sujet: Re: [DNG] [rrq@mail.rrq.id.au: Re: Devuan armhf / armel for my Samsung / Google Chromebook model XE303C12 "Snow" ?]
I've got an idea to perform the first and the second debootstrap stages on
my X64 pc. What I need to know is where I can find the packages for the
armhf architecture. Basically I did the first part of the bootstrap on my
X64 PC with the following command :

debootstrap --foreign --arch armhf chimaera /mnt
http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera

and now I should perform the 2 stage directly on the arm board,but I can't
install an OS on that board,so,AFAIK the only method that I have is to
install some basic packages necessary to get the other ones. For sure the
most important package is apt. Below there is the version of amd64 :

http://deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEVUAN/main/a/apt/apt_2.6.1devuan1_amd64.deb

but I need the corrispective package for armh. After having installed apt
and every dependency using the pre-installed dpkg package,I will try to get
the other packages by playing a little bit with the web paths. Thanks.
