* Package name : perl-cross-debian Version : 0.0.1 Upstream Author : Neil Williams <codeh...@debian.org> * URL : https://github.com/codehelp/perl-cross-debian * License : GPL Programming Lang: Perl Description : Cross build support for Debian perl configurations This package provides the configuration values for selected versions of perl, compatible with the Debian configuration of that version of perl, to avoid detection of these values during a cross-build. . Also provides a helper script to push the relevant configuration files into the cross-build using support in debian/rules within perl. <end of long description> Notes for debian-devel readers: The homepage links to the initial ideas for this package on my blog and I'll add more as the package develops. This package requires some changes in perl upstream and in the Debian perl package - details of those changes will be finalised prior to upload of this package to experimental. The intent is that this package will have a strict dependency on the latest version of perl which is supports or any lower version so that the version of perl in Debian testing should always cross compile for the list of supported architectures. Initially, the only supported architectures in perl-cross-debian will be armel and armhf with expected support for arm64. Join the team to support other architectures. The cross-build support in this package is specific to the Debian configuration of the specific version of upstream perl on the supported architectures. All cross-builds need the full list of build-dependencies for perl installed plus a suitable cross-compiler (not currently in Debian) and cross-dependencies (likely via dpkg-cross until MultiArch can handle -dev packages cleanly). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
