In simplifying the emdebian tools repository, there is a practical problem. Building toolchains creates various library packages via dpkg-cross that are Architecture: all. Different toolchains create different versions of these library packages, e.g. libgcc1-arm-cross_3.3.6-13_all.deb libgcc1-arm-cross_4.0.3-7_all.deb libgcc1-arm-cross_4.1.1-19_all.deb Q. Does the repository need to maintain *all* versions of these dpkg-cross packages? By default, the repository only keeps the latest version of packages with the same package name - in this case leaving libgcc1-arm-cross at 4.1.1-19 in testing, for example. Q. Is this a problem? If so, can the packages be renamed to include the version in the package name, allowing any number of multiples? -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
