Hi Paul, > I think that -a is only really useful if you can also easily specify the > --root option to dpkg. We use dpkg-cross as wrapper for installation. dpkg --root is not required for this APT wrapper.

The APT wrapper is used to installed foreign architecture's packages and all their dependencies with dpkg-cross without have to bother with it manually. Of course, the other APT functions are available too: source, build-deps etc. > Just my .02 from trying to get apt and apt-build to work with dpkg-cross > awhile back. The apt-build tools works after some tweaks with this APT wrapper. I intent to publish the minor modification on apt-build in the next weaks, I hope. -- Raphael Bossek -- 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS http://www.gmx.net/de/go/topmail +++ GMX - die erste Adresse für Mail, Message, More +++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
