Bug#494366: release-notes: please document emdebian 1.0 release, based on Debian Lenny 5.0
Package: release-notes
Severity: wishlist
At the same time as the Debian Lenny 5.0 release, Emdebian will make a
release (1.0) using packages from Debian Lenny and cross-built using tools
packaged within Debian Lenny.
(Unlike typical Debian releases, Emdebian does not provide complete
tarballs or images for download. Instead, Emdebian provides the tools to
create, customise and install root filesystems of varying sizes. Kernel
and kernel modules need to be provided separately.)
Suggested wording:
Emdebian 1.0 (based on Debian Lenny 5.0)
----------------------------------------
Lenny now contains the build tools for Emdebian which allow Debian
source packages to be cross-built and shrunk to suit embedded ARM
systems.
The Emdebian 1.0 distribution itself contains prebuilt ARM packages
sufficient to create root filesystems that can be customised for
specific machines and machine variants. Kernels and kernel modules
need to be provided separately. Support for armel and i386 is under
development.
