Hi. My project is the "Automated Multi-Arch cross-building and bootstrapping" one. I'm going to concentrate on circular dependencies breaking and making a tool to sequence bootstrap builds.
In the past weeks I studied about the related documentation available at debian wiki and other internet sites. I don't have so much things to write about this because I was just understanding all the documentations and definitions related to the problem. As a conclusion of this first step I may say that I am very interested in the project. I don't have all the stuffs clearly in my mind but I hope I understood the main things. Also I'm glad to see that the debian/ubuntu community is very helpful. Currently I am doing I bash script that returns the build sequence of a given package and its dependencies. If the sequence has a cycle, it will return the dependency graph. I had some problems using xdeb to make the cross-build because xdeb needs the source of the packages. To solve this problem, I am going to try a patch. The following step is to use the script to find the loops of a given set of packages needed to bootstrap Debian in a given architecture and so brake the cycles. Finally, I'm going to be able to make a tool to automate the bootstrap process.
