This week? emdebian-tools 0.1.2 and 0.1.3, native Debian package written in Perl that is in (rapid) development. 0.1.3 is a milestone - the package is now ready for serious workloads cross-compiling Debian. Updating and building infrastructure (in Perl) to support cross-building toolchains for Emdebian supporting gcc-3.3, gcc-3.4, gcc-4.0 and gcc-4.1 on arm, alpha, mips, mipsel, m68k, sparc, hppa and a few others I've forgotten. That was a second milestone - the first time such a full set of up to date toolchains became available for so many target architectures on i386 and amd64 at the same time. Cross-built and uploaded the first 20 packages of a rootfs for Emdebian. New Debian Wiki pages explaining what I've been doing all this time. Writing and updating documentation to go alongside the Wiki. New (perl) build status tool that reports on progress within the cross-build of the rootfs. and it's only Wednesday. My theme for the week: Emdebian. Actually, that's a bit of a theme for the year. Note: this is not a competition!!! Aaron's post just struck a chord, that's all. :-) Now if someone can just organise an Emdebian T-shirt to go alongside my DebianEtch T-shirt (designed by our own Simon Waters - take a bow Simon!) and multiple Debian assorted garments, I'll be a happy DD. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
