[Replicant] GNU/Android

[Josh Branning]

Hi, today I fell upon this link:

http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Debian

It says how to run Debian on the Android kernel, then how to create a 
chroot for Android, and finally (in the chroot), run Debian applications 
from a vnc.

This got me thinking that it perhaps could be possible for Replicant and 
a FSF approved distro to do a similar thing.

But I have a few questions.

1) Does Replicant provide a generic ARM kernel which has been 
de-blobbed? (Of course, IIRC the kernels are device family specific, so 
to do the same on a real Replicant device would require the right kernel.)

2) Can the kernels be built in a GNU/Linux way ie. do they require 
Android/Replicant specific custom makefiles/SDKs etc. to build?

3) Does Replicant provide a 'minimal' configuration which is sufficient 
to pretty much, just run Android applications?

4) Do you know of any applications on Replicant, which instead of 
forwarding an X11 screen to Replicant, forwards an Android screen to X11?


Thanks,


Josh
