Package: tech-ctte Recently some crippled cross toolchain packages were uploaded to Debian unstable, without having any consent with the Debian GCC maintainers, nor announcing these packages anywhere. Maintained by a single person, not even trying to form a maintainer group, and downgrading bug reports without addressing concerns of the GCC maintainers. I'm asking the ctte to state that
- a cross compiler based on GCC within Debian is able to cross build the existing gcc-x.y packages without disabling any features that are offered by the packaging, and used for the native compilers. This includes frontends and multilib'ed runtime libraries. - a cross compiler based on GCC within Debian provides all the front ends required to cross-build GCC. - a cross compiler based on GCC within Debian uses the very same sources, patches and configuration, so that it is equivalent to the native compiler provided by the Debian GCC maintainers. The current maintainer of the cross compiler packages has shown that he is not able to work together on these issues in a group. I'm asking the ctte that anybody who is able and willing to maintain the cross compiler packages as outlined above, becomes the new maintainer of the cross compiler packages targeting Debian architectures. It would be good if the GCC maintainer group is involved in this group. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
