Support for uclibc (and other such variations on an arch)

-- the general ideas seem well known enough, its the specifics that we need to pin down and prove now more than anything else. That is too big for any of us to figure out alone, but between us I think we'll do alright. If you did get this far, Thanks! I hope to make it worth your while. Ron ron what

Proposal to support uclibc using separate Debian archtypes

architecture' support to the dpkg* tools, separate from the list of 'official' archs? - What else have I missed to support building custom arches from the base 'workstation' distro? If we can get something like a consensus, I'll summarise the result in code to review. Cheers, Ron

Hi, This patch supersedes the previous one. It sanitises $CC before calling dpkg-architecture, so that this doesn't fork-bomb when invoked with CC=/tmp/gccross.*/$arch-gcc - gccross, from gccross. Cheers, Ron diff --git a/dpkg-cross.pl b/dpkg-cross.pl index 134f783..bf537fc 100644 --- a/dpkg

be able to submit patches for this to the distro maintainers in the same way translators do. The regular maintainer may not care for these builds, but if we show them a standard form and give them help to follow, adopt, or maintain it, it shouldn't get in their way very much either. Cheers, Ron

for what you describe here is that you need a bootstrap uclibc package, the glibc one is not a replacement for that. hth! Ron (who is on this list, so no need to cc me) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
