I can imagine that it is a lot of work. But to do this work there is a need to have good skills in scripting languages and a very good knowledge in debian. I basically use Debian on my Desktop PC because of crush as I wanted to evaluate crush and I got to like the debian world :-) So I am still a newbie in debian but what I can do is to upload cross compiled packages for crush which I have managed to run on our ARM board. I think it would be good if other people using crush also upload their "success". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
