The Debian package (of v1.2-ish) has: install -m0755 usb-boot $(PKG)/usr/bin/sunxi-usb-boot install -m0755 fel $(PKG)/usr/bin/sunxi-fel install -m0755 fexc $(PKG)/usr/bin/sunxi-fexc install -m0755 bootinfo $(PKG)/usr/bin/sunxi-bootinfo I'd be happy to put that together as a patch for upstream instead. The current packaging does not install nand-part, fel-pio, jtag-loop, fel-sdboot or boot_head for various reasons (which I'd want to revisit with v1.3). I'd be inclined to prefix them all with "sunxi-" too if I were to install them. > If we had a sunxi-tools maintainer, then that person could also > make a release announcement with the list of changes since the > previous tag. > > > For my part that just means a tag, no need for tarballs etc. > > This is a non-issue because github automatically generates tarballs > for the release tags.
