Package: emdebian-tools (2.1.0)

emdebian crossbuilding tool set

A collection of scripts to ease cross-building Debian packages for Emdebian, reducing package size, separating translations into individual tdeb packages and handling dependencies. Includes support for installing cross building toolchains and building custom toolchains, automated patching of Debian packages to suit Emdebian needs and cross building Debian packages inside or outside a chroot.

The emdebian-tools package primarily serves to support Emdebian Crush, the cross-built distribution using busybox and lacking perl support. For Emdebian Grip support, see the emdebian-grip package.

Run emsetup first, using the simulate option, to see what changes may be needed.

Includes support for debian/xcontrol files and the debian-xcontrol package, to specify which cross dependencies need to be installed with apt-cross to make the cross objects available to the cross compiler and cross-building autobuilder support.

A simple reportbug wrapper assists in filing and closing bugs against the buildd.emdebian.org pseudo-package, documenting and tracking issues within the Emdebian build systems that are distinct from the Debian build logs and bugs.

Includes experimental support for creating a uClibc toolchain from an existing glibc/gcc toolchain for the same target architecture.
