Cross compilers for wheezy (bare and libc)

Hello, 1. BARE METAL Recently, some people have been wanting to have in Debian, bare metal cross compilers for bare metal code, mainly arm-eabi target. They have been mainly using the summon-arm-toolchain[1]. We could reuse gcc/stage1 packaging[2] (done for testing purposes) and configure it similar to summon-arm-toolchain. Does someone have better ideas for such purpose? Note some people would like to easily be able to use a cross toolchain and link against newlib, uclibc and other C libraries. For such purpose, a couple git projects were created [3][4]. But maybe we should aim to just have only one source tree. If you want to contribute to the packaging, please ask to join 'emdebian' project on alioth[5] (and you dont even need to be Debian Developer). The idea would be to include this package in the upcoming Wheezy release (if we dont miss the freeze deadline). 2. LIBC CROSS TOOLCHAINS For the upcoming Wheezy release, current state of cross compilers its a bit unfortunate. Only ARM, SH and IA64 cross compilers are known to build and the rest might need to get fixed. Including the cross toolchains in the main Debian archive, at current state (with -$arch-cross dependencies), might not be worth it as multiarch is approaching and we should attempt to get them in their(Continue reading)

Bug#673094: debhelper: hardlink auto-gened .placeholder files

I've just completed the update of Emdebian Grip stable to the latest point release, aiming to match Debian Squeeze 6.0.5. Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Emdebian Grip 2.0 but only updates some of the packages included. deb http://www.emdebian.org/grip stable main or with all components available: deb http://www.emdebian.org/grip stable main dev debug doc java (Remember: squeeze will be the last time components are used, other than main.) Squeeze 2.0.5 is the stable release of Emdebian Grip and is the recommended distribution for those basing their own work on Emdebian Grip. Changes are only made in the stable release when Debian makes a corresponding point release. Mirror: deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/emdebian/grip stable main As I've been preparing this announcement, the changes have been pushed to the mirror, so that should now be up to date with 2.0.5.

Who is using emdebian-grip-server?

If the integration goes ahead, I won't have time to maintain a duplicate set of scripts in emdebian-grip-server which are themselves buggy and incomplete. (It turns out replicating dak, britney and stable-release-managers is not a way to create bug free scripts.) In effect, I'm having to push everything into the debian-grip scripts but those are tightly integrated into the Debian infrastructure and are not going to work as a separate package any longer. The only remaining uses for emdebian-grip-server on www.emdebian.org are generating TDebs and handling the ports (unstable only). Most of the bugs in the current scripts are outside these roles, so I could keep those running on www.emdebian.org but without the really problematic code of testing migrations and stable release management, I see little use in the package being in Wheezy. So, according to popcon, there are people who have emdebian-grip-server installed. If any of those people are here, please speak up and tell me how you're doing with the scripts. I'm likely to drop the emdebian-grip-server package before the Wheezy release freeze and keep the scripts only in SVN. -- -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/(Continue reading)

Bug#670200: gdb: ships syscalls decls for unrelated archs

Package: gdb Version: 7.4really-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-CC: debian-embedded <at> lists.debian.org In /usr/share/gdb/syscalls/, the standard gdb package installs many files, seamingly for support of other archs, although "set arch" will make it obvious that very few of those are indeed usable with the installed binary. This makes it uncomfortable to simultaneously install cross gdb packages from emdebian, as those currently ship the same set of files - and even if they only shipped the relevant ones, there would be conflict on those files they seem the more legitimate to ship. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gdb depends on: ii gdbserver 7.4really-1 ii libc6 2.13-27 ii libexpat1 2.1.0-1 ii libncurses5 5.9-6(Continue reading)

Removal of Lenny (oldstable) packages from Emdebian Grip
Neil Williams <codehelp <at> debian.org>

http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120209 Security support for Lenny has terminated and Debian has already cleared out the Lenny packages in oldstable in preparation for the release freeze ahead of Wheezy when Squeeze will become oldstable. I will be dropping Lenny packages from the Emdebian Grip archive this weekend - with the exception of Emdebian Crush which has no Squeeze or Wheezy counterpart. (Lenny will remain the "stable" release of Emdebian Crush until such time as Crush development restarts.) The mirrors will remove the packages at the next mirror push, so within 8-12 hours of the removal from www.emdebian.org After this point, oldstable will be empty until the actual Wheezy release happens and Squeeze packages move from stable to oldstable. -- -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
