Bug#535429: xburst-tools for Debian
Hi,
I would like to see xburst-tools available on Debian mirrors.
The packaging is not ready for that yet since it has an undeclared
build-time dependency on a mipsel toolchain, making it impossible
to automatically build.
Worse, there is no mipsel toolchain packaged for Debian except
the native one on mips machines. Sigh.
Here is a workaround. The idea is to include a compiled copy of
the firmware in the Debian source package (but not the upstream
source or repository). Since it is built with free software,
I think this would still meet Debian’s guidelines, and most
importantly, it would work. :)
Meanwhile I will look into packaging cross-compilers for Debian,
but that might take longer.
What do you think?

Update and simplify .gitignore
configure: Add --disable-firmware option to avoid building firmware
debian/rules: rewrite as a minimal debian/rules file (using dh)
debian: Avoid tracking generated files
debian/control: Add a Vcs-Git field
Do not build firmware on buildds
