Hi David, thanks for the reply.
As you guys know, there are 2 pages with instructions - one is general
and one for Debian Squeeze. Since the Debian one seems to have fallen
out of date, I'll do my best to update it. I honestly don't think we
should just "let it go south" and only use the "Building_Software_Image"
as the only "official" page, because, as a new user to embedded
development, I find that Building_Software_Image page awfully confusing
90% of the time (could be my own lack of talent).
A user who is new to Linux will have a much easier time installing
Debian Squeeze on a virtual machine and running a simple script as
opposed to understanding all the requirements needed for a development
environment.
I honestly believe we would see more users developing for the Nanonote
if they have a clear, simple, fast way to set up a development
environment. Having a single set of instructions for a specific and
popular distro achieves just that.
Thoughts?

Right Xiangfu, Qi does have a copy of GCC Linaro sources, but the
Qi-mirror is not (currently) part of the feeds.conf generated according
to the instructions at
http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Building_OpenWRT_on_Debian_6 .
Currently, those instructions "manually create" a feeds.conf file with
the following snippet:
cat<<EOF> feeds.conf
src-svn packagessvn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages
src-link qipackages /home/$USER/openwrt-packages
EOF
Since the sources for Linaro are not on the OpenWRT mirror, and the Qi
mirror is not in the feeds, that might be the issue.
I've successfully compiled on Debian using a downloaded feeds.conf. If
this makes sense, I'll adapt the wiki page and clean up the script for
Debian just a bit (comment some of it, use a release variable, run "#
make oldconfig" before "# make").
My goal is really to just make the script working again for Debian
users, and possibly make it need as little adaptation as possible for
future releases.
Let me know if it sounds like I'm missing anything.

Hi
openwrt-xburst should be use: gcc-linaro-4.5-2011.06-0.tar.bz2
we also have a sources mirror:

Hi guys, I'm a bit at loss here. The sources for GCC Linaro had been
removed from the openwrt mirror for some reason. The following link
leads to a 404:

Don't know who wrote that information. But it seems wrong/outdated.
The "official" page about building the image is here:
http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Building_Software_Image
and reads:
[..]
To get and integrate the release feeds simply do:
$ wget
http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/software/images/NanoNote/Ben/latest/feeds.conf
$ make package/symlinks
..
cheers,
David
