Separating them is probably a good idea short term at least. I'd like to get the current released version 1.23 packaged. This may require patches to fix lintian issues (some of which have already been applied to master). Longer term we can decide to either maintain the packaging completely separately (and remove the /debian directory from crosstool-ng.git) or bribe Alexy to make it part of the upstream release process.

Do you have a handle on github so that I can tag you in the comments to review?

I think the patch should rebase cleanly against https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng.git master.
Bug#695545: where went crosstool-ng 1.17, startpoint for further effort

I last updated the packaging against 1.22. Ran though lintian and made some updates. https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng/pull/352 The crosstool-ng maintainer and I had some questions about what dependencies need spelling out explicitly. I also wanted to know how seriously to treat some lintian warnings. In particular because much of ct-ng is shell scripts lintian thinks it should be a noarch package but it also uses kconfig which must be compiled for a specific architecture. What I really wanted was some feedback as to where to go next. https://lists.debian.org/debian-wnpp/2016/02/msg00895.html I think I need to at least update my PR against the latest released version (although technically the packaging can live outside of crosstool-ng proper).
RFS: crosstool-ng-1.22.0 -- tool for building toolchains
Package: sponsorship-requests Hi, I'd like to try and get crosstool-ng added to debian. The developers have done some initial packaging work to create local packages for their own use but I'd like to try and get it into debian officially. Based on the work already done I've attempted the debianization of the already released crosstool-ng-1.22.0 So I've got some files ready for review by someone who can actually get the package in. I'm guessing sending the .debian.tar.gz to the list isn't the way to go but I'm unsure of the next step. This is probably a duplicate of #695545 which I've tried to set myself as the owner of. * Package name: crosstool-ng Version : 1.22.0 Upstream Author : Yann E. MORIN, Bryan Hundven * URL : http://crosstool-ng.org/ * License : GPL, CC-BY-SA-2.5 Programming Lang: C, bash, make Description : tool to build toolchains for various architectures
