[guardian-dev] Lil' Debi 0.5 beta release!

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

There have been some big new features implemented in Lil' Debi, mostly due to
the work of Kumar Sukhani (aka sdkie), who was the Google Summer of Code
student working on Lil' Debi.

* integrated boot process via /etc/init.d/rc so that when you start Lil' Debi,
any services (sshd, nginx, etc.) that should be started on boot are started

* start on boot, or when the SD card is mounted

* install process based on cdebootstrap (same as the Debian installer)

* ability to install on the internal storage rather than SD card (beta)

You can get this beta version on our release page:
https://guardianproject.info/releases/LilDebi-0.5-release.apk

And it is also signed by my OpenPGP key:

We have also improved the deterministic, reproducible build process.  It is
now easier to run the release build process yourself to make an APK to compare
to the official release.  You need to have these installed to make it work:

* java 1.7
* Android SDK 23.0.2
* Android NDK r10b

To run the process to make bin/LilDebi-0.5-release-unsigned.apk for you to
compare to the release:

 git clone https://github.com/guardianproject/lildebi
 cd lildebi
 git submodule update --init --recursive
 ./make-release-build

Then to compare it, use the attached script or see this blog post:
https://guardianproject.info/2014/06/09/our-first-deterministic-build-lil-debi-0-4-7/

How is also a perfect time to update a translation, or even add a new one.
Then I'll include those updates in the final release version:
