Closing this and #453267 would provide sane cross-building support native to dpkg in Lenny and that is fantastic news. It may not sound like a big event to the rest of Debian, but IMHO this warrants being listed as one of the major improvements between Etch and Lenny for anyone interested in embedded development. > I have no definitive opinion on this particular patch, but it's important > to have a sane cross-compilation toolchain and if that helps Neil, then > I'm ok for it. I may be the one filing the bugs but there are lots of other people who want to use Debian as their platform-of-choice when developing embedded software. Thanks for committing this improvement to dpkg! -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
