cool. seems to work for me too :-)
altough i had to upgrade libc6 to the one from unstable beacuse of the
dependencies. thats not so nice if you want to have a clean install. but
it did not mater that much for my testing box (testing in both senses,
easily installed using knoppix :-)
but it might matter for others so if there is a chance to compile it
against an older libc6 that would be useful.

I have also updated the packages as follows:
* At Dmitry's suggestion, I switched to a binutils CVS snapshot. This
one is from 2 September 2003, and does indeed include support for the E
and W devices -- and they're not even widely available yet! How's that
for dedication? ;-D
* GCC package updated to latest CVS code as of yesterday. (I think the
24-hour lag doesn't apply to me, since I use SSH to get to the repository.)
right. you have developer acces which is "direct"
* msp430-libc updated to latest CVS as of yesterday, and built with new
GCC.
* msp430-parjtag itself didn't change, but I rebuilt it with the new GCC
anyway, just because .. well, because I could.
I have also checked in the debian package tree to the packaging/ module.
The new subdirectory, debian/, contains build instructions and various
subdirectories for the packages themselves. See packaging/debian/README
to start.
Original mailing from last week is included below.

Subject: Experimental Debian i386 packages available
I have made some i386 Debian packages for various parts of the mspgcc
toolchain, and have uploaded them to the mentors.debian.net > repository.
These packages are highly experimental. I have never packaged anything
for Debian before, so please forgive any foibles I have committed on
my first try.
I have made four packages so far:
* binutils-msp430 contains binutils 2.14;
* gcc-msp430 contains gcc 3.2.3 with the latest MSP430 patch;
* msp430-libc contains a snapshot of the C library;
* msp430-parjtag contains the jtag.py programmer.
I intend to also make packages for GDB and Insight, the pybsl serial
bootstrap loader, and packages containing examples and documentation,
and will make these as I have time; but I'd like to get some feedback
on these in the meantime.
Speaking of feedback, it is eagerly solicited. If you are brave enough
to try these packages, and run into trouble with them, please mail me
at d...@ieee.org. The only reward I can offer is an improved set of
packages for you to use; I hope that will be enough. :)
The packages can be obtained using apt from the mentors.debian.net
repository. Instructions on accessing the repository are at:
http://mentors.debian.net/index-usage.html
Once you have added this as an apt source, you should be able to use
dselect, aptitude, etc. to install the packages. (It may take a bit
for the packages to appear, as I just uploaded them.)
These packages are by no means finished; in particular, more man pages
need to be written, as required by Debian. There are also several
details I do not know how to properly address, particularly in the
binutils package.
That said, the packages seem to work for me; I have been using them on
my own Debian Unstable installation.
Note that I have taken liberties with the pyjtag program, renaming it
as msp430-jtag for the purposes of execution. The original program,
jtag.py, is installed in /usr/lib/msp430-parjtag/, together with its
dependencies, and /usr/bin/msp430-parjtag symlinks to it. Chris -- if
this bugs you, please let me know, as it's your program; I just
thought "jtag.py" was a bit too generic for a package.
Lastly, I am aware of an earlier packaging effort listed on the Debian
work-in-progress page, but it seems to have not been touched in over
500 days. I need these packages now, so I took the liberty of making
them.
Enjoy
