Subject: tpkg-debarch should support "arm-linux-gnu" target (was Re: small quirks setting up a cross-compile toolchain)

Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2006 10:15:26 -0700

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: toolchain-source
Severity: grave
Tags: patch

toolchain-source as it stands is currently unusable for building ARM
cross-compiler targets. It appears that you must specify "arm-linux-gnu" to
several of the builds in order to get the install to work correctly.
However, this target is not supported by tpkg-debarch. The attached patch is
not a complete solution, but it at least makes it *possible* to build for
arm again (so long as you use the magic "arm-linux-gnu" incantation).

Okay, so when I did that, I would get this message every so often:

"Hmph - dunno the arm-linux-gnu arch"

... and then eventually:

http://ftp.yi.org/debian/dists/testing/main/binary-none/Packages.gz
           => /tmp/tpkg-install-libc.CMosC11963/packageset.gz'

binary-none, eh?

Sooooo I added "arm-linux-gnu" to tpkg-debarch, and that made it work!!!

retitle 380250 RM: toolchain-source -- RoM/RoQA; obsolete, superseded
thanks

The request comes from the "Emdebian" people.  They were taking over as the
new maintenance team; the previous maintainer had RFA'ed it (but actually had
effectively orphaned it.)

I quote Simon Richter:

Subject: Bug#380250: fixed

Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2006 11:48:41 +0000

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

toolchain-source |      3.4-5 | source, all
toolchain-source-gdb |      3.4-5 | all
toolchain-source-newlib |      3.4-5 | all

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.

Packages are never removed from testing by hand.  Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 380250@bugs.debian.org.

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
ftpmaster@debian.org.
