Hi All, I now have working packages for Ubuntu for both Jaunty and Karmic. I have done some testing but I still want to release these as an alpha release until I get some feedback to ensure the packages work correctly. These are my first Ubuntu packages so I am expecting a few bugs. I have not found any bugs on my two dev machines, and I am getting a little paranoid I might have missed something! I am getting everything into place so the next release of Ubuntu has these packages in the main tree.
There are in a Launchpad PPA at present: https://launchpad.net/~adamhorden/+archive/msp430 <https://launchpad.net/%7Eadamhorden/+archive/msp430> I am looking at automatically building releases each day with a patch generated from CVS against upstream sources. I all ready have the patches automatically generated each day via my php msp430_mirror script running internally. This would ensure the packages are all ways up to date. Think its worthwhile? The packages currently only work on Jaunty. This is because Karmic has dropped support for gcc-3.4. I will build the version of gcc from Bazaar in the next week or so. I am still playing with the stuff in Bazaar. What is the current state of this project? Is it ready to be built into development releases? To use the packages assuming your on Ubuntu Januty: sudo nano /etc/sources/sources.list and append to the bottom: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/adamhorden/msp430/ubuntu jaunty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/adamhorden/msp430/ubuntu jaunty main sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 9CC544B7 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install msp430-binutils msp430-gcc msp430-libc msp430-gdb *Adam** Horden http://www.adamhorden.net*
