Show all headers | View raw

Hi Matthias (2024.08.16_12:58:22_+0200)

I tried to set you up with some questions that were easy to answer here,
without trying to push any solution.

Answering them would help the committee to understand the options on the
table, and probably help the Kernel team to understand the problems with
the current package structure.

Let me repeat the questions, and you can check my assumptions:

> Will it be another binary package in cross-toolchain-base, built from
> linux-source-*?

I'm assuming so?

> Will cross-toolchain-base now contain linux-libc-dev-*-cross and
> linux-libc-dev, as separate Arch: all, Multi-Arch: foreign binary
> packages?

I'm assuming linux-libc-dev-*-cross stay the way they currently are in
cross-toolchain-base.

You'd then add linux-libc-dev, Arch: any (as it used to be)

Or maybe strip them down to dependency packages that depend on the cross
package for each arch?

I already put an assumption in there :P
