Ubuntu armel defaults to Thumb-2 since lucid, I think it would be a poor choice to name the port after the default ISA if both ARM and Thumb ISAs can co-exist in the port. Or are you proposing to create a thumb port, but using soft-float ABI? If this is still about hard-float ABI, then the port should have a name reflecting that. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
