Building using sources from 10.04 release would take much more time as during 10.10 cycle I changed packaging of cross toolchain components a lot. > * there was a time where you would get an updated host toolchain when > enabling the repository which had the cross-toolchain (e.g. you might > get a newer libc6 than the one from 10.04 if you enable the PPA); I > think this is solved now, but this is a risk you might want to be > aware of -- it would also be a bug though There are few packages in this repository which have newer versions then Lucid had: - dpkg-cross 2.5.8 (older ones created packages not installable under 10.10) - gdb 7.2 (install 'gdb-multiarch' to debug cross binaries) - linux-doc, linux-tools-common Does it matter a lot for users? Should not. dpkg-cross one is bugfix which is required because 10.10 users of that repository also use lucid packages. Newer gdb has fixes and improvements from Linaro and allows to cross debug target systems. Linux-doc and linux-tools-common can be pinned to lucid versions by users. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-embedded-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
