Provided my assumption that debian has _way_ more packages then angstrom/$opkg-based, one could change the default arch of opkg packages. But this would need support from all parties, not just us. The technical part could be reduced to: - extract package - do some sed-magic to replace armv4t/all by armel/any - compress package again Am I missing something significant? :D Of course reality isn't as simple as that, but it sounds so comfortable... -- Marcel _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
