Quirky 8.0.25 alpha for Raspberry Pi2 and Pi3

October 04, 2016 — BarryK
The previous builds were "pre-alpha". Build 8.0.25 is at least good enough to be classed as "alpha quality".

Get it from here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky6/armv7/releases/alpha/

Next on the to-do list:

1. Compile last GTK2 version of Evince (PDF viewer).
2. Refine audio configuration.

2. /DEBIAN* folders shouldn't be there.

3. Menu -> Shutdown -> Exit to prompt, get blank screen.

4. Retrovol mixer crashes.
