Hi, following yesterday's IRC discussion I've built a small script that prepares dpkg-cross'd packages and publishes them in a repo.
I've built arm overnight, armel is still building; we need about 1 GB per arch. APT source line is deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian-cross sid main The script isn't perfect yet, it's a first hack. Known problems: - Does not handle virtual packages (rather, it tells dpkg-cross to remove the alternatives from the Depends line, which is suboptimal) - Does not handle removals and packages that have become "uninteresting" in the last upload - Does not handle "interesting" packages depending on "uninteresting" ones that depend on an "interesting" one. - Mistakenly identifies "caudium" as interesting, because it has symlinks whose names end in .h below /usr/lib. A copy of the script lives at http://www.emdebian.org/debian-cross/update-cross-repo.pl It might be obvious, but perl is not my native language. :-) I wonder whether it would make sense to also have a blacklist for kdeinit libraries, as these are never linked against, but are placed in /usr/lib, or if it makes more sense to prod the KDE maintainers that they move their plugins out of /usr/lib into some subdirectory (where they'd be ignored).
