https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/MobilityPhoshImage

This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.


== Summary ==
Phosh is a wayland shell for mobile devices based on Gnome. The
mobility SIG has packaged up Phosh and related packages into a
'phosh-desktop' package group and would like to start making x86_64
and aarch64 images for mobile devices.


== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:Kevin| Kevin Fenzi]], [[User:Torbuntu| Torrey Sorensen]]


== Detailed Description ==
There's a number of x86_64 and aarch64 tablets and other mobile
devices that could use a more mobile centric interface/desktop than
traditional Fedora desktops/labs/spins. Having Fedora images for these
devices will make it easier to install and use them. Having a image
will also help remix efforts, allowing them to reuse userspace
packages and metadata (kickstarts, etc) with a modified kernel.

Note: Plasma Mobile is also being packaged and will be requested in
another change

Note: Pinephone and Pinephone Pro are eventual targets for these
images, but more kernel patches must be upstreamed before these
devices will boot and function.


== Benefit to Fedora ==
These images will spread Fedora to mobile devices and bring more users
into the Fedora community as well as showcasing upstream work to
provide a 100% open source phone interface for devices once they are
workable from vanilla kernels.


== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: Create kickstarts and other configuration needed to
produce aarch64 and x86_64 images. Fix bugs related to phosh-desktop
group and associated packages.

* Other developers: Help test images and groups

* Release engineering: Review kickstarts and pungi configutation,
produce images.

* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with Objectives:


== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==


== How To Test ==
Install the produced image to a suitable x86_64 or aarch64 device with
arm-image-installer or dd
Boot the image and confirm it comes up to a phosh desktop
Use various desktop functions and report issues.


== User Experience ==


== Dependencies ==


== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: (What to do?  Who will do it?) N/A (not a
System Wide Change)
* Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change), Yes/No


== Documentation ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)

== Release Notes ==
Initial images are produced for x86_64 and aarch64 mobile devices
using the Phosh desktop.
