>> Emdebian seems to focus on embedded Linux targets. However, the

>> `arm-none-eabi' instead of `arm-linux-gnueabi'). This toolchain would

>> I already had a look at the Emdebian documentation, but as it focused

> Emdebian is a group of people. This group tries to dignify Debian to be used
> for embedded targets (not fork, nor port). There are many tools (scratchbox,
> qemu, cross toolchains, apt-cross, dpkg-cross, emdebian-{tools, rootfs,
> grip, *}) emdebian people is working on.

> Currently, avr, mingw32 and z80 tools (maybe some others) are in the main
> archive, but those were uploaded without any coherence in mind (afaict) and
> these tools might need to be adapted to newer layouts (see multiarch[1][2]
> or upstream sysroot -which depends on modifying dpkg-cross-) or removed from
> the archive.
> We also should *keep in mind not to polute Debian main with a bunch of
> crossgcc-tools* for each individual case (which could grow up to hundreds
> different configurations) but to have a distribution crosstoolchain (built
> in most cases and when possible with Debian defaults)
>
>> Indeed, if you think emdebian is the right place for those packages,
>> I'll be happy to maintain them under its umbrella.
>
> All those packages, but newlib, are already packaged [3][4] in two different
> ways and a third one might arise. Do you also have them packaged? If you
> already have them packaged, please submit your packaging in you want
> comments on them.
>
> Tomorrow, there is an IRC meeting[5] which you are invited to, in case you
> want to participate.
