Hi all,

I've had comments that getting hold of binaries for the linaro
toolchain can be trick for people unfamiliar with the linaro tools.

One reason is that we don't release binaries as such -- but a visitor
browsing in through http://www.linaro.org/downloads/ won't discover
this, and may waste a lot of time trying to understand launchpad etc.
before coming to the conclusion that binaries either aren't available
or are not easily findable.

On the other hand, the cross toolchain packages are likely to be of
interest to such visitors, but aren't obviously advertised -- maybe
I'm looking in the wrong place, but if so then new visitors to the
linaro pages are likely to look in the wrong place too.

Would it make sense to explain the situation more prominently so that
visitors know what to expect?

Something along the lines of "if you use distro x revision y, these
cross-compiler packages are available" and "if you need the tools for
some other environment, you need to download the source and build it
for yourself".

Cheers
---Dave
