Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request assistance with maintaining the emdebian-tools package.
For my reasons, see:
http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/serendipity/index.php?/archives/178-Why-I-missed-DebConf9.html
For background, see:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-embedded/2009/08/msg00005.html
and for what needs to be done, see:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-embedded/2009/08/msg00016.html
For progress in Crush so far, see:
http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianCodeAudit
emdebian-tools is the main package for cross-building Debian packages
for Emdebian Crush, the smaller cross-built distribution from the
Embedded Debian Project, an official sub-project of Debian.
Crush aims to use busybox to replace coreutils, remove perl and
prepare a binary distribution for embedded systems, based on Debian.
Current problems with cross-building in Debian mean that the next
release of Crush is likely to be skipped unless a lot of work is done
to improve the system used to create Crush 1.0. Once multiarch is
implemented in Debian, future releases of Crush will need more work to
adapt to the multiarch system.
Development of Emdebian Grip - the alternative distribution from Emdebian
with no functional changes compared to standard Debian - is unaffected
and Grip 2.0 is still in active development and likely to be released
for seven architectures alongside Debian 6.0 "squeeze".
The package description is:
A collection of scripts to ease cross-building Debian packages for
Emdebian, reducing package size, separating translations into
individual tdeb packages and handling dependencies. Includes support
for installing cross building toolchains and building custom
toolchains, automated patching of Debian packages to suit Emdebian
needs and cross building Debian packages inside or outside a chroot.
.
The emdebian-tools package primarily serves to support Emdebian Crush,
the cross-built distribution using busybox and lacking perl support.
For Emdebian Grip support, see the emdebian-grip package.
.
Run emsetup first, using the simulate option, to see what changes
may be needed.
.
Includes support for debian/xcontrol files and the debian-xcontrol
package, to specify which cross dependencies need to be installed
with apt-cross to make the cross objects available to the cross
compiler and cross-building autobuilder support.
.
A simple reportbug wrapper assists in filing and closing bugs against
the buildd.emdebian.org pseudo-package, documenting and tracking
issues within the Emdebian build systems that are distinct from the
Debian build logs and bugs.
.
Includes experimental support for creating a uClibc toolchain from an
existing glibc/gcc toolchain for the same target architecture.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
emdebian-buildsupport | 2.1.3 | all
emdebian-qa | 2.1.3 | all
emdebian-tools | 2.1.3 | source, all
libemdebian-tools-perl | 2.1.3 | all
------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; superceded by emdebian-crush
----------------------------------------------
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.
Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.
Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System. Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected].
The full log for this bug can be viewed at http://bugs.debian.org/540333
This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
