Diaspora on Debian

This is a pretty big deal to me. One of the historic issues that prospective podmins have had with Diaspora is the fact that it is a Ruby on Rails application; for many people that are used to working with a LAMP stack on their server, deploying a Rails application can seem backwards, daunting, or sometimes outright unintuitive.

@Pirate Praveen** (j4v4m4n) has been instrumental in spearheading efforts to package up Diaspora for DEB-based distributions. I'm very proud of how far this effort has come; one day setting up and configuring a pod will be even easier yet. Thanks for everything!

diaspora installation in #debian asking for #diaspora pod name. Diaspora can now be installed with Next Next clicks like Install Shield Wizards on debian.

wondering if it might work on an android device with debiankit installed on it

("debiankit" is a linux-in-android installer app downloadable from f-droid - - it sets up actual distro's with apt, etc alongside android - you can even choose the distro - eg debian,ubuntu, etc - if the deb works on arm-based hardware it might be worth a try...)
