Great, but this situation reminds me a lot of i386 and x86_64, there is also the aspect that x86_64 / ARMv6 can run v6 and v4 packages, but i386 / ARMv4 can't run v6 packages. It took quite a while for that to settle down in the packaging tools and the distros. If someone is making OpenMooCow 2.0 and they have a GTA02 and GTA02-only toolchain, it would be good if GTA03 folks are able to install it OK. Or, we should send out a single toolchain+(2 x libs) that is v4 and v6 ready, and make it easy for the MooCow guy to generate v4 and v6 binary. ~ Or, we should have the toolchain issue source packages, which Moocow guy will offer with his v4 binary, and make it easy for anyone to recook a source package built on v4 toolchain+libs against v6 toolchain+libs. So I think there are some things to muse on here. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkj3Ao0ACgkQOjLpvpq7dMoKPgCfc1w+lzcMjhRh70nJRkLLELXB a6wAoIVVIARo2IkWhzoETcKXc2vXyjqA =F8rX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
