Is it still alive?I already said it was stagnant, please pay attention. I brought it into attention since it makes more sense to revive a old project than to start a completly new one.
I am not starting a new project. I want to see support for i386-uclibc in standard Debian packages. So far, I have patches to a fair amount of essential packages, most of which are trivial. This gives me some confidence that we can just add i386-uclibc as a supported architecture, along with arm-uclibc, mipsel-uclibc etc.Also, looking at http://cvs.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/?cvsroot=i386-uclibc I see only binutils and gcc. In the other thread "cross-compiling Debian packages" I already mentioned that binutils and gcc are trivial to retarget nowadays. The tricky
bit is patching all those 25411 packages...
