Whiteboard
[dzin, Feb 3, 2012] Please add headline and acceptance criteria.
[hrw 22.02.2012] live-build in precise is not able to do cross builds. And I do not want to lose time waiting endlessly for arm boards to populate chroots for me.
https:/
Meta:
Headline: An official sysroots, based on Ubuntu LEB, are now available for people to use with the cross toolchain.
Acceptance: able to build sysroot with -dev and -dbg packages, tarball available at a public place for people to download and try, able to have it to work with the cross toolchain
We can drop whole /var/ as we do not support upgradability of sysroots. So APT, DPKG data are not needed.
usr/share/
There is no sense in reporting bug against each package which lack -dbgsym support. There are 2568 of them (and my script is far from being perfect).
"check all *.so for absolute paths: TODO" WI dropped - this is sysroot so toolchain should not follow those outside of sysroot
"check all for case sensitive file names (vfat problem under windows)" is simple comparison:
"find . |wc -l" == "find . | uniq -i|wc -l"
