retitle 623953 cross-pcc needs cross-binutils severity 623953 wishlist thanks
Hi, there still seems to be no consensus regarding this, but with (only) my “pcc maintainer” hat on, by mentioning it in the README.Debian file how to build those cross compilers, I think my part is done, especially considering that the Wiki page is updated now to point to precompiled binaries from Emdebian, and we can even put some pcc-specific information on it. In general DD terms, uploading cross-binutils might be discussed, but that doesn’t scale due to n² complexity: we currently have 14 Debian and 7 Debian-Ports architectures, and pcc currently works on 2 (amd64, i386) out of an upstream-named 5 (+ mips, mipsel, powerpc; with some sort of ARM and hppa being a possibility) ones, so pcc alone would need 2*21-2=40 cross-binutils uploaded right now, 5*21-5=100 eventually with 7*21-7=140 a possibility, and for the general case we need 21²-21=420 cross-binutils binary packages, so I understand the reluctance for that. bye, //mirabilos -- <Natureshadow> Dann mach ich git annex copy --to shore und fertig ist das <Natureshadow> das ist ja viel cooler als ownCloud ... <mirabilos> sag ich doch <Natureshadow> ja wieso stimmt das denn immer was du sagst ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
