Re: Packaging a library that requires cross-compiled code

What about the following plan:

- the first version of the package will build-dep. on the gcc source,
build the compiler and build the firmware.
- all new versions of the package will build-depend on the old package
and just copy the binary blob from it.

Any objections to this?

Cheers,

Bernd
