I'm curious to know if we're looking for the same outcome here. There are going to continue to be a lot of new ARM boards and IMHO, it would be nice to be able to support installs to those boards. This cheap OMAP is one of them, but it is hard to believe that there won't be others. So, if we agree that it is desirable that Debian be able to support installs to a plethora of targets, perhaps we need to have a scalable solution. For example, could we restrict the build of the kernel package s.t. different buildds are responsible for different binary packages from a given source? I'm thinking out-lout here. Do we even agree on the goal? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
