The basic package building tools are in Emdebian Grip Sid but I've got a few issues to sort out with the doc and dev components before adding the -dev packages themselves. That'll be implemented in emdebian-grip 1.9.2 - if things go to plan, due early next week. (If emdebian-rootfs leaves NEW over the weekend, 1.9.2 will be 2.0.0 into Debian.) -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
