I want to know how different is > emdebian grip from emdebian tools? Apples and oranges - the is no common ground between emdebian-grip and emdebian-tools. That is why it was removed. The reason to create emdebian-crush was to bring the Crush experiments into line with emdebian-grip and stop using two such completely separate methods. emdebian-crush concentrates on just building packages - not just cross-building but mostly - and it builds packages exactly as the same package would be built within Debian, including documentation and other fluff. emdebian-crush then uses emdebian-grip to slim down the packages, with extra removals set using the DEB_VENDOR switch. emdebian-crush will use pdebuild-cross to do the actual cross building, the package itself is mainly configuration support. Having said that, the experiments with Crush are still not suitable for a Crush 2.0 release. It is likely that Crush will not be suitable for release until 3.0. I might have a handful of packages for 2.0 (possibly only busybox-crush, debconf-crush and cairo-crush - dpkg-crush might not be necessary) but whether those would make a sane release is unknown. I've updated the Wiki to remove all mention of emsetup etc. With emdebian-crush, there is now no need to have a cross-building toolchain installed on your main system - everything is done inside a disposable chroot using pbuilder. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
