Re: Cross compiler ITP (armel)

Hi Mark,

2011/3/22 Mark Hymers mhy@debian.org:

The current design is the Binary packages can contain an additional control field: Built-Using.

First of all, thanks very much for taking care of it, that probably will get us going.

I just would like to point out that current design solves half of the problem (being GPL compliant), but it does not solve code duplication in the archive, which it can also be useful for large datasets. IMHO, we do not want source and binary packages containing the same bits, bytes and nibbles, problem which might be solved by the multiarch specification, treating 'source' as yet another architecture (in next couple years?) :-)

Best regards,
