I am amazed! I had no idea that I could put a little Linux installation *for a different architecture* in a chroot. Okay, doing this now. It is even smart enough to install the external libraries, like libgl, needed for the package automatically. > > >> 3. upload the built packages to a place where I can get them > > > > I think I can find such a place. > > Good. > > >> I think that a simple > >> alphabetic sort on the file would improve the situation, but I > >> haven't added that to the tool yet.
