i've come here as suggestion from mk01: i'd really like to help on the development of xbian under cubo-x platform.

i'm a happy user of a CuBox-i4Pro, i've some experience with debian package creation and maintain as well as some documentation writing and translating (english and italian). i can code simple program in C, python, perl as well as some bash scripts. my main problem is the lack of free time but i can find some in the week, between diapers changing, work and sleeps :-)

how do you test packages, do you have a pbuilder an emulator or do you run them live on a cubox?

Cheers

If you're still there, we recently (yesterday) changed our build environment, as you can see on https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian - check the wiki for to-be-reviewed instructions. Still no sbuild or pbuilder, but surely better than some scripts requiring human intervention.
That's still not complete though - it's quite RC-grade, but still requires slightly modifications as we migrate more package to it.
This will allow us to have all the various APT repositories on GitHub (stable, staging, devel) and automatically build and upload new packages using GitHub hooks (still needs to be implemented, but this is the easy part).

You can translate to Italian - that's cool, as I started the Italian translation but then been busy with other things. I can give you translator access if you request to join.
