Right now, there aren't .deb files for every project we use.  You can
build your own .deb for FreedomBox's Privoxy [0].  Adding .debs to the
rest of the projects, so that you can turn any box into a FreedomBox by
installing a couple packages is an incomplete release goal.  If you know
your way around packaging, you're welcome to help.

To build the package, just run:

$ make deb

If you're good with code and want to try building an entire disk image
From scratch, check out the Freedom Maker project [1].  The "shiny"
branch has a few more experimental enhancements than the main branch
does.  If you know what the Pi's architecture is (I looked, but couldn't
find it) should be possible to build an image for that architecture.
Copy the ``multistrap-configs/fbx-armel.conf`` file and edit it
appropriately for the Pi's architecture.  Then, run:

$ make ARCHITECTURE=(Pi's architecture) plugserver-image

No guarantee it'll work, but it'll sure try to.  THIS HAS NEVER BEEN
DONE BEFORE SO IT PROBABLY WON'T BOOT.  If it doesn't, we can try to
help you debug the issue, but we can't guarantee when we'll get it
working.
