Bug#717332: please create a debian-cross ML

2013-08-01 Thread Patrick 'P. J.' McDermott
Another me too.

There is work to make many of Debian's packages cross build to make new
architecture bootstraps possible, and a mailing list on which to
coordinate the efforts would help.

2013-07-19 Thread Matthias Klose
Package: lists.debian.org

Please create a debian-cross ML to discuss the cross-building of packages, and
related topics, like how to bring up a new port using (partial) cross builds.

Name: debian-cross

Rationale:
These topics come up from time to time on debian-devel, and on external
projects like emdebian, or on externally hosted mailing lists like
debian-bootst...@lists.mister-muffin.de.  The scope of this ML is broader (or
different) than for these other mailing lists.

Interested audience are porters bootstrapping new ports, people wanting to be
able to cross build packages which aren't necessarily part of a bootstrap, and
maybe more.

There is currently no one place to go for cross-build discussions, either as
user, or developer, in Debian (the right people are scattered about various
Debian and Ubuntu and external lists). This would be one.

Short Description:
Discuss cross building of packages and infrastructure for cross-builds

Long Description:
The list discusses

 * How to cross-build packages within Debian

 * Infrastructure needed to cross-build packages. This may include
   discussion about additional tags for cross-building, running
   cross-build daemons, etc.

 * How to use cross-builds to bootstrap Debian ports.

2013-07-19 Thread Wookey
I second this. I've really noticed over the last year (doing arm64
bootstrap work), that there is no one place for people with
cross-building and bootstraping expertise to hang out. Now that
cross-building mechanisms in Debian are in much better shape I think
it's time to have a proper list for it, under and obvious name on an
official list so that any developer can find the place to ask.

2013-07-19 Thread Andrew Bradford
Seconded.  I've found the Debian cross building tools very useful in my
work but I did not know to subscribe to some of the other official and
unofficial lists in order to keep fully abreast of cross building
discussions for Debian.  I've just been following debian-embedded.
Thanks,
Andrew

This is a good idea. With multiarch, cross development within Debian is coming 
into its prime. Having an obvious place to discuss it will help to keep it 
blossoming.

I'm interested.

We have lots of customers using Debian on our boards, and
we always simply hack things together.

A great idea. (cross-)Toolchaining and (cross-)image building are just two 
places without a good home that would be happy to have this ML.
