The new apt-cross/emdebian-tools code needs a reliable method of identifying the suite to use when comparing versions, downloading cross-dependencies during a build and selecting toolchain packages. The default should be unstable, in line with Debian where the default build suite for all uploads is sid. Codenames need to be static and support all cross-building architectures so I've chosen 'unstable', 'testing' and 'stable' as the debconf selections. How this relates to Ubuntu is unknown - the toolchains are built for Debian and may or may not be installable on any particular Ubuntu flavour. I'm unsure how to phrase the debconf question: _Description: Build packages against Debian unstable? emdebian-tools follows Debian by defaulting to building against unstable. This setting determines the versions of libraries and packages linked against the cross-built emdebian packages. That's probably insufficient help. Improvements welcome. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
