It should be possible to build these on mipsel (and they should probably be split out to an arch-all package anyway), but that makes it difficult for people without access to a non-pocket-sized MIPS machine to test the build process. From http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?sortby=architecture&sortorder=asc I infer that there is not even a mipsel porterbox available to DDs. Would the cross-compiled version would be a candidate for contrib? The correct long-term solution, of course, is to get gcc-mips into Debian. Anyone with ideas about how to make that happen? > You include an embedded code copy (or fork) of the Qi bootloader. > Please remove it and package Qi separately.

The source package is based on the upstream xburst-tools repository; it probably should be split into separate packages for qiboot, xbboot, usbboot, and so on, since they do not depend at build-time or run-time on one another. It is not my impression that these have been split already. The piece most people currently use is usbboot (which is based on a Windows tool from Ingenic). Earlier versions of the packaging included just that. Thanks, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
