Hi Li Daobing

一共有三个编译好的文件.xburst-stage1.bin xburst-stage2.bin stage1.bin
已经在源代码里了，分别在 :
.
├── usbboot
│   ├── xburst_stage1
│   └── xburst_stage2
└── xbboot
    └── target-stage1

Debian 好像可以接纳编译好的文件。这里［3］是另外一个人（Bas 也是Debian 的人）的邮件。

这个一定要是 -1 吗？有点不太明白。

这个是必须的吗？ 这个changelog 我已经改完了。改成只有一行的那个  * Initial release. (Closes: #535429)
但是代码我没有提交。想搞清楚再提交。

这个是什么意思，这个代码就是我们写的。我要怎么发而这个源码包？？

在 get-orig-source 中已经有这个。就是一个临时目录啊。
  mkdir debian-orig-source
  trap 'rm -fr debian-orig-source || exit 1' EXIT

要测试这个包必须要有 君正CPU 的设备。这个软件包是和 君正的CPU 通信的。
 
1. 把君正CPU的设备启动到 USBBOOT MODE
2. 就是用usbboot, xbboot 和设备通信，守成测试，刷机等工作。

如果需要我可以提供设备用于测试 ：）

thanks for your help :)

You can try the mips porters list, but I'm not sure if that's very
active.  Unfortunately the most active mips porter (Thiemo Seufer) got
killed in a car accident after fosdem several years ago.  But I can also
give some hints:

I see two options, both of which have their drawbacks.  First is to
include the cross-compiler in the source package, and use it during the
build.  This is similar to including a custom version of a library,
which some packages do and is highly discouraged, but sometimes
unavoidable.

*The other option is to include the built version of the mips binaries.*
Debian's policy manual doesn't require everything to be built from
source; it only requires sources to be available and free.  Build tools
must be free as well.  All this is no problem for xburst-tools.

Of course the ideal solution would be to somehow get the things to build
using normal packages.  Perhaps it is somehow possible to create a
package with gcc sources (similer to the linux-source-* packages) from
which a custom cross-compiler can be generated.  xburst-tools can then
build-depend on that, and generate a mips cross-compiler at built time.
You should probably talk to the emdebian people for this.

I have too many projects at the moment to work on this myself, but if
you have any more questions, I'm happy to give some more advice.

Thanks,
Bas
