Package: lists.debian.org Please create a debian-cross ML to discuss the cross-building of packages, and related topics, like how to bring up a new port using (partial) cross builds.
Name: debian-cross Rationale: These topics come up from time to time on debian-devel, and on external projects like emdebian, or on externally hosted mailing lists like debian-bootst...@lists.mister-muffin.de. The scope of this ML is broader (or different) than for these other mailing lists. Interested audience are porters bootstrapping new ports, people wanting to be able to cross build packages which aren't necessarily part of a bootstrap, and maybe more. There is currently no one place to go for cross-build discussions, either as user, or developer, in Debian (the right people are scattered about various Debian and Ubuntu and external lists). This would be one. Short Description: Discuss cross building of packages and infrastructure for cross-builds Long Description: The list discusses * How to cross-build packages within Debian * Infrastructure needed to cross-build packages. This may include discussion about additional tags for cross-building, running cross-build daemons, etc. * How to use cross-builds to bootstrap Debian ports. Category: developers Subscription policy: open Post policy: open Web archive: yes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
