Glad you found it useful. I like it too. > I was just wondering what the policy in on keeping the sid/etch > packages install-able? I understand that is not possible to always > be up-to-date but the 4.1 packages haven't been install-able for > quite a while: The idea has been (for a while) to have the common toolchains available and up to date for stable, testing and unstable, but this has proved difficult to actualy do, and whilst most of the infrastructure is now there, there is still some work needed to make the system build new compilers each time debian uploads a new one, and to fix the patches when they get stale. After the recent Emdebian work session we have decided to start using the SLind patches rather than the bare Nikita patches, as they provide uclibc functionality and fix some bugs/are still maintained. > Also, are there currently any plans for cross tools in debian > proper? We have got preliminary agreement for Debian main to provide a set of cross-compilers as part of the normal packages which will cover most needs. Doing this will mean that we don't need to maintain our own parallel set. > Would help working these be useful, or should I just be more > parient. Help would be very useful. Developer time is the only thing stopping the situation improve (faster). I am also waiting on latest SLIND patches being posted (<prod>). There is likely to be some action on either getting the SLIND patches into debian main or updating the emdebian.org infrastructure this week as we are at debconf, working on stuff like this.
