Resend to the rest of bug numbers 2009/12/14 <hector.o...@gmail.com>: > Hello Nicolas, > > 2009/12/14 Nicolas Dandrimont <nicolas.dandrim...@crans.org>: >> >> Emdebian seems to focus on embedded Linux targets. However, the >> packages I am currently making aim at raw targets (well, >> `arm-none-eabi' instead of `arm-linux-gnueabi'). This toolchain would >> be an equivalent of the current *-avr toolchain, but for ARM >> chips. Maybe the name and description of the packages I intend to make >> should be made clearer. > > How 'arm-none-eabi' differ from 'arm-linux-gnueabi' besides C library? Can > 'arm-linux-gnueabi' be used in most 'arm-none-eabi' use cases? Are you > thinking on using sysroot for this tool (multiarch orthogonal)? Do you have > a plan to integrate libraries and headers someway (we use dpkg-cross for > this) or is this similar to 'none header compiler' (first bootstrap > compiler)? > >> I already had a look at the Emdebian documentation, but as it focused >> on either porting Debian or cross-compiling specifically for Linux >> targets, I went ahead and filed those ITPs for the main debian >> archive. I was comforted by the presence of the avr toolchain in main. > > Emdebian is a group of people. This group tries to dignify Debian to be used > for embedded targets (not fork, nor port). There are many tools (scratchbox, > qemu, cross toolchains, apt-cross, dpkg-cross, emdebian-{tools, rootfs, > grip, *}) emdebian people is working on. > > Currently, avr, mingw32 and z80 tools (maybe some others) are in the main > archive, but those were uploaded without any coherence in mind (afaict) and > these tools might need to be adapted to newer layouts (see multiarch[1][2] > or upstream sysroot -which depends on modifying dpkg-cross-) or removed from > the archive. > We also should *keep in mind not to polute Debian main with a bunch of > crossgcc-tools* for each individual case (which could grow up to hundreds > different configurations) but to have a distribution crosstoolchain (built > in most cases and when possible with Debian defaults) > >> Indeed, if you think emdebian is the right place for those packages, >> I'll be happy to maintain them under its umbrella. > > All those packages, but newlib, are already packaged [3][4] in two different > ways and a third one might arise.
