Hello, I'm being trying to package DJGPP, which is a libc, and a few other tools to make DOS binaries with an i*86-msdosdjgpp targetted GCC (see the recent ITP on -devel). I'd like to see it sponsored into Debian when it's done.
I've already packaged a few private things, but DJGPP is just no such piece of cake ;). Furthermore, since it can be useful to many people, i'd like to obtain something of good quality... Therefore i'm requesting your help about a few issues : - Since this stuff (at least build-) depends on a gcc-i386-msdosdjgpp package, creatable with tpkg-make, should I maintain such a thing ? (and for now issue an ITP for it ?) - Traditionnaly, GCCs used to build djgpp applications are targetted at i586-pc-msdosdjgpp. I think it would be more consistant to use i386-msdosdjgpp within Debian (even out of this context, it seems more clever to me.) Is this OK ? - The makefile system is a bit messy since it "installs" things while building and do not remove them in the clean target. I think i can manage having things installed in a temporary directory while building, then copied from there to their actual destination while debian/rules install'ing. The directory would be removed on clean. Sounds good to you ? Thanks. -- Jeremie Koenig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
