I built my first ARM binary debian package today. Whee… It was a nasty hax0red version of the osso-terminal that used bitstream vera mono font (which I had to copy to /home/user/.fonts to make it available) and used green text over black - nice retro colour scheme :)) - but it showed me my scratchbox […]
