Like everyone from Toolchain WG I will share my activites in last week:
1. cross compilers for archive - discussed with doko about dropping update-alternatives use - wrote gcc-defaults-armel-cross 1.4 which does proper symlinks for cross compilers - wrote gcc-4.5-armel-cross 1.41 which removes update-alternatives support - wrote gcc-4.4-armel-cross 1.37 which removes update-alternatives support - wrote armel-cross-toolchain-base 1.53 which has all updates which I had - sent all of them to Steve for review
Status of changes: - default version of armel cross compiler will be 4.5 like it is in Natty - both 4.4 and 4.5 will be provided as it is for native - any traces of update-alternatives use should be removed
Needs to be done: - adding conflicts on older cross compilers to gcc-defaults-armel-cross
Order of upload to archive: - armel-cross-toolchain-base - gcc-4.5-armel-cross - gcc-4.4-armel-cross - gcc-defaults-armel-cross
2. Checked few old bugs do they still apply: - Bugs #646729, #637454, #671455 are done with armel-cross-toolchain-base 1.52 (landed in maverick-proposed)
Regards,
