Hi Neil Sorry I hit the reply button instead of reply all. I didn't see the address it was going to. My sincere apologies. I did intend to write to the mailing list.

I'm confused
How do I use emdebian-grip for compiling packages for Armel? I was used to emdebian-tools. I had created a chroot in which I was running emdebian-tools with all required packages via apt-cross to compile my source. What differences are there now?

You use normal Debian build systems: dpkg-buildpackage -aarmel. Then, you pass the armel packages through emdebian-grip - emdebian-crush contains a helper (/usr/share/emdebian-crush/emsource.sh) to wrap those stages into one. I was used to emdebian-tools. ... which simply became impossible to maintain. emdebian-tools would have gone away before Squeeze anyway. There is still little chance of any packages for Crush in line with Squeeze. Please read why: http://lists.debian.org/debian-embedded/2009/08/msg5.html I had created a chroot in which I was running emdebian-tools with all required packages via apt-cross to compile my source. What differences are there now? Less packages to install. You can use your chroot or you can switch to using standard Debian build methods by using pdebuild-cross. You don't need emdebian-tools, you just need to handle the cross dependencies (apt-cross will do for now but will disappear in due course) and then build packages as normal. emdebian-grip is then used to remove the unwanted files - instead of having to make so many changes to the packages before the build. -- Neil Williams = http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/ pgpXNPfVfLnoi.pgp Description: PGP signature
