Package: debirf Version: 0.21-1 Severity: wishlist
Hello: I think it would be quite interesting providing support for creation of init ram images for another architectures. For instance I'd like to create an i386 image on a amd64 machine. There are quite a lot of possibilities. One of the important steps is already supported. I'm refering to specifying the destination machine architecturo proper kernel using the -k parameter. But apart on that, userspace applications support should be provided. I guess it's a matter of adding another DEBIRF variable specifying destination architecture and then providind that information to deboostrap. For the moment, this is all I can suggest. I'll see if I can provide further ideas/patches.
