It would be very useful for offline updates when your computer can't move but your phone or tablet can.

This has been asked before but I do not see this as a strong use case. If you have a phone with network connectivity, you can always create a hotspot of it.

The only valid case is completely isolated machine and with no intent to connect them to the network whatsoever. Which then falls under the use case, where you'll have a secondary machine which you can connect to your mobile/tablet.

I am not entirely against the idea of porting it to more platforms. But I don't really have the resource/time to do it myself. So someone else has to do it.

The usecase is that i don't have a hotspot on the same place and no, the tablet is not a phone, otherwise i wouldn't be asking because i would have a network at home.

For instance, one can use a (free) public library to get updates to the 'home computer' without being able to move the 'home computer' but being able to move the tablet. Since there is no unix like environment for android, except termux afaik, that's the point.

Really perplexing you'd close this one, because it would be one of the things that would make your program the most useful possible in the current environment where there is no debian/ubuntu solution for tablets and more useful to poorer people without a data plan.

If you close because you don't want/don't know/it would be too much work to port, just say so, instead of a assumption that all tablets are phones (and everyone has unlimited data plans too).

Well yes. I agree. Tablets are the new portables.

Well. The reason to close is because I won't have the time in the near future to do it. Neither is the Linux Tablet landscape practically improving. In my opinion, Android is going to remain the defacto platform for Tablets. I'd love to be wrong here though.

I'm re-opening it with hope that someone else will contribute to it.
