Hi,
We (Developer Platform) are looking into making Ubuntu/Debian more
cross-compile friendly. In order to
decide what to focus on on first, I'd like to ask from input from you
- what would you like to be able to
cross-compile for the Linaro Ubuntu evaluation builds? We know a lot
of people (everyone?) cross-compiles
kernels already, and don't need help from distribution. What else do
people compile often enough that
cross-compiling would help?
From previous experience I remember there were a lot of people wanting
to be able to cross build Qt, as it takes almost one day to build it
at Launchpad's builders.
Any of the other packages that take long to build on ARM - LibO,
chromium-browser, firefox, especially since they have their own de-facto
maintainers who then would not need to ask for ARM hw just to debug
failed builds - assuming the build issues are reproduced just as
accurately as the build-results on a cross setup :)
Out of curiosity does focusing on a set of packages mean making all
their build-deps multiarch/cross build friendly?
