&gt; 1) Is anyone already working on this?<br>

<br>
1) No one is working on it, as far as I know.<br>
<br>
2) I would suggest starting with those two ports, and seeing how far<br>
they can take you.<br>
<br>
3) At <a href=3D"http://packages.ubuntu.com" rel=3D"noreferrer noreferrer" =
target=3D"_blank">packages.ubuntu.com</a> (or <a href=3D"http://packages.de=
bian.org" rel=3D"noreferrer noreferrer" target=3D"_blank">packages.debian.o=

version numbers are part of which distributions. So for example at<br>
<a href=3D"https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/apache2" rel=3D"noreferrer nor=

u see in the header<br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 [xenial] [bionic] [cosmic] [disco] [eoan]<br>
and you can click on them to see what version number goes with each.<br>
There&#39;s also a changelog to see when other version numbers for the<br>
distribution may have been.<br>
<br>
You could test by running past live CDs in VMs.<br>
<a href=3D"http://releases.ubuntu.com/" rel=3D"noreferrer noreferrer" targe=
t=3D"_blank">http://releases.ubuntu.com/</a><br>
