The one unfortunate thing about it is that it doesn't work/isn't packaged for Raspberry Pi.

I don't understand why they don't make a package for the pi, if it's a JS app anyways

Doesn't compile on my system.

From above, but:

I'm currently working on nightlies for ARM and Intel linux-based systems (including Raspberry Pi and [Chromebook, Android] <- under Debian jails).

I could really use one or more Raspberry Pi 2/3 testers on a Debian distro (ideally Raspbian) for early feedback.

Hoping to announce the project on HN properly myself when it's ready (it's a very early state, although extensions are working), so I'd ask for discretion of whoever feels like helping me out.

What I also don't understand is why doesn't Debian package it? Is it not fully free or does it have licencing issues like Atom?

It would need a maintainer, and would have to work its way through unstable->testing->stable too.

Is there even an official Debian that runs of RasPi, anyways? Thought Raspbian was a fan effort that resurrected an old armf fork or similar.
