Isn't it good idea to research first before rising discussion? Just raising discussion without referring to any previous discussion about a subject is very counterproductive, as it inevitably leads to reitarating all the same arguments that where discussed last time. Try groups.google.com and keywords "autobuilder" "crosscompile" for a starter.

If you want to be productive, how about setting a buildd and trying to crosscompile the distribution and then post statsistics of failed/succeeded crosscompilings? -- Riku Voipio | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | kirkkonummentie 33 | +358 40 8476974 --+-- 02140 Espoo | | Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. |
