arm specific patches
In the patches for util-linux, apt, dpkg, gnupg and mktemp there are patches
build a file called arm-linux-gnu.cache. This file is then copied into the
build tree.
Now I realise that the patches can not build an architecture specific file,
we can not substitute into the diff file names.
So would it not be better to create a file called generic.cache, and then
when the cp is done to copy it into the build tree to convert it into an
architecture specific file name:-
cp generic.cache build-deb/$DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE.cache
in debian/rules.
Also, how does the emsource program know which patches are architecture
specific, so that it can ignore patches which are not relevant to the
architecture you are building?
