Package: general Severity: wishlist This is filed against general in advance of a buildd.emdebian.org pseudo-package becoming available. See #480408 Emdebian has a set of prebuilt binary packages which allow an 80% reduction in the total installation size of the final Debian system, acheived through the use of TDebs, DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and patches held in Emdebian SVN. Currently, I am maintaining just over 210 source packages (over 600 binary packages) with manual builds and patches but in order for Emdebian to support armel and i386, an autobuilder is needed. Basic script support for a cross-building buildd exists in emdebian-tools, work is still needed to get this working smoothly and then implement on a suitable machine: http://buildd.emdebian.org Emdebian also has a developing Policy that is based on Debian Policy - a wiki page indicates where the two documents differ: http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianPolicy The autobuilder would use existing lintian support to ensure that crossbuilds are compliant with Emdebian Policy, principally that the crossbuilt binaries really are the correct architecture. Maintaining these packages via manual builds is unsustainable and causes problems with a usable testing/stable migration because certain versions might simply not exist in the repository when a migration should occur. The lack of internet-visible build logs is also a significant problem for helping other people begin developing their own packages for Emdebian. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
