- Current packages: QOF, deb-gview, xapt, multistrap and vmdebootstrap.
Emdebian work: Wookey's cross-get (bash) has been converted to perl using the dpkg-cross model. On release in debian unstable as apt-cross.
Experimenting with building only specific packages for Crush and then using packages from Grip to build the rest of the system. Changes in Crush will be for functional reasons (lack of perl, dropping optional features etc.) and this should allow Crush to be available for more than one architecture. Eventually. See EmdebianCodeAudit.
Multistrap work: Providing a replacement for debootstrap that adds the necessary functionality to bootstrap a complete, bootable, root filesystem image. See also multistrap and device tables
Vmdebootstrap: hints and tips on creating VM images of Debian.
pdebuild-cross
pbuilder hooks for cross-building in a chroot
Uses Emdebian toolchain packages to install a cross-building toolchain inside the chroot.
- Uses pdebuild code to locate the .dsc in a debian source tree.
- Uses apt-cross to get, build and install (to the chroot) dependencies, like pdebuild, dependencies will not be saved to the chroot.
- Builds an emdebian package from the debian source tree.
