Source: linux Severity: wishlist User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: rebootstrap
Hi, I recently captured a conversation involving Bastain saying that the stage1 build profile was deprecated. He's right! So I went searching for users of this profile. The most obvious user to me is rebootstrap. It turns out that stage1 is sufficiently similar to pkg.linux.nokernel,pkg.linux.nosource,pkg.linux.notools that I can just use that profile combination instead and changed rebootstrap. Another obvious candidate is cross-toolchain-base as it also produces packages that resemble a linux-libc-dev. Looking into it, I found that it doesn't use linux' packaging at all and just does make headers_install, so it does not use stage1 either. And with that I'm lost locating users of linux' stage1 profile. Is it time to delete it? If your answer is "no", please close this bug without further action. Helmut
