Packaging DJGPP

[Jeremie Koenig <sprite@sprite.fr.eu.org>]

Hello,

I'm being trying to package DJGPP, which is a libc, and a few other
tools to make DOS binaries with an i*86-msdosdjgpp targetted GCC (see
the recent ITP on -devel). I'd like to see it sponsored into Debian when
it's done.

I've already packaged a few private things, but DJGPP is just no such
piece of cake ;). Furthermore, since it can be useful to many people,
i'd like to obtain something of good quality... Therefore i'm requesting
your help about a few issues :

 - Since this stuff (at least build-) depends on a gcc-i386-msdosdjgpp
   package, creatable with tpkg-make, should I maintain such a thing ?
   (and for now issue an ITP for it ?)
 
 - Traditionnaly, GCCs used to build djgpp applications are targetted at
   i586-pc-msdosdjgpp. I think it would be more consistant to use
   i386-msdosdjgpp within Debian (even out of this context, it seems
   more clever to me.) Is this OK ?

 - The makefile system is a bit messy since it "installs" things while
   building and do not remove them in the clean target. I think i can
   manage having things installed in a temporary directory while
   building, then copied from there to their actual destination while
   debian/rules install'ing. The directory would be removed on clean.
   Sounds good to you ?

Thanks.
