That's quite modest of you - now we (emdebian) have a a working emdebian roofts, which will hopefully attract more developers, as there is something to actually play with. > This implementation uses scratchbox as a cross-compilation environment.

With the chroot wrapper in sbox 1.0.2 it is possible debootstrap sarge atleast.

To become accepted part of debian instead of prodigy fork, emdebian should be buildable from debian source packages available from ftp.debian.org. However, it might be that many debian developers who don't do embedded development, might not be very accepting of the idea of a separate emdebian/ dir in their packages. > o implement lintian check for emdebian packages linda is probably easier to extend. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
