I think I answered the toolchain question in my reply to Adrian's earlier message. There was an attached "packages" file with the complete list of what I've got installed on the PWS. > Unless built in clean chroot with only the build dependencies installed > and with an up to date toolchain they won't be much use to us. The toolchain is up-to-date, but I don't have the infrastructure to support a clean chroot environment, even on another local system if I were to try and use a cross-compiler vs. a native build. In reference to the build dependencies, if particular versions aren't specified, or are only loosely specified (e.g., >= some value), are the dependencies considered "best" satisfied with a stable package version meeting the requirement? Or is the current unstable version of a dependency preferred when building for "sid"? Many variables to consider, I guess. --Bob
