Freedom Fridays (development updates) 4

As promised, a lot of progress happened this week! Having the Flidas build jails up and running allowed to spin up enough packages to make most of the desktop components available to install, and a MATE based desktop is in testing to potentially become the next default interface. Along with that, the package helpers for openssh, Midori and several desktop dependencies (gsettings-desktop-schemas, gnome-icon-theme, lightdm-gtk-greeter and unity-greeter) were updated and built.
Trisquel 7 also received some upgrades, including Abrowser 48 and a workaround for security issue CVE-2016-5696. In other news, GNU IceCat also is getting some love, and a -still a bit rough- build of v45 ESR is now being tested and polished.
All those changes are available at https://devel.trisquel.info/groups/trisquel and http://jenkins.trisquel.info/icecat/

How would I go about installing the parts that are ready?
Here is a rough example of how I did it. Hope you can use it in this form.
First get root shell using "sudo su". After that you can run the following commands.
FLIDAS=/mnt/flidas debootstrap flidas $FLIDAS http://es.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/ curl http://jenkins.trisquel.info/repos/trisquel/key.asc > $FLIDAS/root/key.asc cat <<EOF > $FLIDAS/etc/apt/sources.list deb http://es.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel flidas main deb http://es.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel flidas-updates main deb http://es.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel flidas-security main deb http://jenkins.trisquel.info/repos/trisquel/flidas flidas main #deb http://jenkins.trisquel.info/repos/trisquel/flidas flidas-updates main deb http://jenkins.trisquel.info/repos/trisquel/flidas flidas-security main EOF
After doing this you will have flidas debootstrapped, with jenkins repo key in root dir and sources list set up.
Then you can mount some stuff for flidas to have and chroot to the system.
mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/flidas/dev/ mount -t devpts none /mnt/flidas/dev/pts/ mount -t proc none /mnt/flidas/proc/ chroot /mnt/flidas/
You can now add the key.
cat /root/key.asc | apt-key add -
After updating using "apt-get update" you can install packages.
When you want to exit, just execute "exit". After that you can un-mount the stuff you mounted previously.
umount /mnt/flidas/dev/pts umount /mnt/flidas/dev umount /mnt/flidas/proc
To use the system later you don't need to repeat everything, just the mount and chroot part.
Thank you for another great update, Rubén! As promised I have donated $50 to the Trisquel project for this update. Who else will join me?
Even if you can't do $50 please consider setting some amount that you can afford and join in. Long live Trisquel!
@heather Am getting some of that placebo effect from my monthly donation to the FSF; time to resume my monthly Trisquel donation.
Thanks quidam ;) great work
What happened to devel.trisquel.info?
I still can't update Abrowser. I have Abrowser 47.0.
Mybe try changing the server your repo fetches the packages from?
I tried all the servers (mirrors and the main server) with no updates.
Trisquel 8 is using MATE? Thank you.
Any development last friday?
