We have a preliminary release of Hasty Hippogriff for ARMv5EL. Hasty is derived from Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron". This preliminary release is a first-round build of the "main" section with a few of the required universe components added in.

After several rounds of building, Grumpy main and universe for both ARMv5 and ARMv6 VFP are in good shape. The v5 code "universe" build ran on our farm of native ARM boxes and has completed over 7000 source packages from universe (and packages are still trickling in). The v6 code "universe" build ran on our farm of QEMU-emulated ARM boxes and has completed over 8400 source packages!

The Grumpy ARMv5EL code is in good shape, so we turned loose the build system on ARMv6EL-VFP. The "main" section is mostly complete. Take a look here.

Cortez has a great series of blog entries and how-to information in his "Ubuntu on Zaurus" web pages. Excellent work!

Our first distribution derived from Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy" is now available: Grumpy Griffin, compiled for the ARMv5EL instruction set.

The Mojo project team attended the ELC 2008 conference in Mountain View, CA on 15-17 April 2008. We had a great time hanging out with all the hard core developers and hackers, talked up the Mojo distribution efforts, and felt good that people were responding positively to the Mojo work. Links to the Mojo presention are on the Events page.

The Handhelds Mojo site has been opened for business. Our first distribution, Frisky ARMv5EL, has been released. I'm afraid that this site is still under construction and will be rather rough for a while, but we have great hopes that things will come together soon.
