Whiteboard
[rsalveti, Oct 9, 2012] This is now covered by the source/repository publishing that happens on every release, such as http://
This probably falls within the remit of blueprint linaro-
Top-level requirements:
1) Getting the source for every binary in the LEB must be practical - i.e. it must be possible to get some package without hunting through N source repositories.
2) It must be possible to rebuild the binary from the source - i.e. all configuration utilities must be included, configuration/build invocations must be recorded. Supplying buildable Debian source packages is sufficient to meet this requirement.
Note that there is no requirement for cross-compilation.
Use cases include:
1) Bundling LEB into third-party products. It is easier to meet open license obligations if it is easy for the third party to rebuild the LEB from source.
2) Experimentation. Linaro customers can install an LEB onto one of the supported platforms, then easily hack it to understand how it works.
3) Demonstration platform. The LEB can be used as a demonstration platform for development tools. This is easier if sources (and debug symbols) are easily obtained following simple instructions.
