All bugs below have patches attached that have been carefully tested with your package to avoid any changes in the Debian packages. As such, the patches can be applied without you needing to worry about testing the patch within a crossbuild environment. Please verify that the patch does not change your Debian packages and let me know if I have missed something that changes the Debian build. I am conscious that time is short before certain packages go into soft freeze and I want to get the autotools-dev support into as many packages as possible because these are the patches that are the most difficult for Emdebian to maintain as "outside-tree". 2. Many patches are inter-woven with other changes and other patches elsewhere in Debian and might not be sufficient to actually implement complete cross build support for any one package at this time. This is not, IMHO, a reason to not apply the patches at this stage. I have started with the autotools-dev patches because these are the ones that will simplify my cross building workload the most. With these patches in place, I will be able to allocate time to solving the more general problems that still remain within cross building Debian. There is little point submitting patches that are full of hacks and workarounds. Leave those to me and emdebian-tools. :-) When I have fixes for the issues that require the hacks, I'll come back with the final changes. (Please let me walk before expecting me to run. ;-)) 3. The long term mass bug filing for cross build support is ongoing and this is only Phase 1. I fully expect to still be filing bug reports under this title after Lenny has become old-stable. One step at a time is the principle. 4. I have deliberately *not* included changes in these Phase 1 patches that are related to other changes in Debian that are yet to be implemented. Emdebian has working solutions for all the problems on a patch basis but better solutions are pending. I need to get this set of patches into place so that it frees up time to solve the more general issues. 5. Some patches include support for --cache-file. See my explanation of this in #465294. Other packages may still need similar support but I have decided not to seek patches for these packages, yet. If anyone has a good idea for solving the issues described in #465294, I'm listening. 6. Please apply the patches as they stand - harangue me at Fosdem if you have general questions but please, help me out and apply the patches so that I can get on with Phase 2 and actually get something working for a Fosdem demo. Thanks. ;-)
