That's kind of where I'm stuck. I last updated the packaging against 1.22. Ran though lintian and made some updates. https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng/pull/352 The crosstool-ng maintainer and I had some questions about what dependencies need spelling out explicitly. I also wanted to know how seriously to treat some lintian warnings. In particular because much of ct-ng is shell scripts lintian thinks it should be a noarch package but it also uses kconfig which must be compiled for a specific architecture. What I really wanted was some feedback as to where to go next. https://lists.debian.org/debian-wnpp/2016/02/msg00895.html I think I need to at least update my PR against the latest released version (although technically the packaging can live outside of crosstool-ng proper).
