As addition to the feedback given on irc, - please complete the patch to cover all frontends. while these might not be necessary for your bootstrap effort, I'd like to have all frontends be covered in an uniform way.
- as the first step, please don't build any -for-host and -for-build packages yet. - for testing: - the native build should succeed without disabling any packages. - I don't see much value in doing a non-dfsg build, just make sure that the new triplet packages still suggest the non-triplet doc packages. - please test a cross build, with CROSS_ARCHS set to amd64, one multilib arch, and one non-multilib arch (you can inject packaging changes into the gcc-8-cross package without generating a gcc-8-source first). - gcc-snapshot testing is not needed. at some point we might want to have the triplet prefixed binaries there as well. - Please make the testing public, e.g. https://launchpad.net/~gcc-for-host/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Any other build service is fine as well. Thanks, Matthias
