Bug#605409: dpkg-cross: Please add armhf support
Source: dpkg-cross
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
The armhf port has reached a very good state (at 87%) at debian-ports.org,
and I'm now mass-filing bug reports to packages for armhf support.
Most packages just have to add armhf in the architecture field. The complete
list is in http://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatTodo
In particular, dpkg-cross armhf support is necessary to actually cross-build armhf
packages.
The package builds fine using the attached patch. Mind you, we do not target
squeeze, so there is no rush. But please consider adding armhf support. :)
Regards
Konstantinos
