Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the update. Comments inline.
Firstly I'd like to apologise for my lack of public participation in
the SIG, the last year or two has proven quite problematic for me
personally, I've had a lot of "higher priorities" which has reduced my
available hacking time, and that seems to quickly get gobbled up with
things like RPi regressions and release blocker bugs. Throw in a whole
bunch of mental health issues and something had to give.
yeah, I hear ya. This last few years have been difficult here too. ;(
That being said, in the last few weeks I have been actually back to
some hacking projects... more on that below.
...snip...
So I have been booting the original Pinephone on Fedora 39, display
works so I'd be interested in the issues you're seeing there. I'm
booting the original PP because of the Wireless, I've been looking at
some of the realtek modules for another project but hoping the side
effect is actually the rtl8723 series devices should be upstream
soon(ish). This should also resolve the issue on the original PineTab
although I don't remember who has that as I don't (the people that do
please reach out if you want to help testing).
I've not looked too much at the pp recently... it's just so... slow.
I suppose if wifi and display works it could be of some use now.
The PPP is also on my list to look at again soon, initially it'll
be
around U-Boot due to the F-39 blocker issues as I'm working to resolve
that upstream for once so I'll be testing that on my PPP, I thought we
had the wireless and screen there, I do need to circle back more to
this one though TBH.
We did have screen at one point. wifi we had also at one point if you
copied a blob over that wasn't in linux-firmware. But I don't think
either are currently working. :(

I think marking the SIG as inactive probably makes sense.

What's currently produced here?
We have a Phosh aarch64 raw image. But... without much if any hardware
it actually boots on.

How much work is this? How many packages?
tor posted about them here:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/needing-to-handoff-mobile-sig-pack...
This is the phosh stack and a few other things.

Just as I actually get the energy to setup matrix :-P although I am
yet to find the SIG there
Should be #mobility:fedoraproject.org room

What's in the respins? Is that basically Fedora and custom kernel?
Yep. Fedora userspace/packages, but heavily patched kernel with all the
stuff to make pp/ppp work.
