GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain

PPA and repository

Asked by Filipe Rinaldi

Hi,

Are you planning to have a PPA to provide Ubuntu packages?
Do you have a public repository? Or these builds are based on already up-streamed code?

Thanks,
-Filipe

Hi Filipe,

For the latter two questions:

Yes, most of our code are based on up-streamed code. Our mode is current release branch + back-ports from trunk. We have a very small amount of code that are waiting for upstream to review and accept, but all of them are posted at respective upstream mailing list. For GCC, all the code can be found at ARM/embedded-4_6-branch.

BR,
Terry

And the first question?

Hi Ben,

I just spent a few time to figure out how to release through Launchpad PPA and feel it is doable. But PPA installs the tool chain into system path, not like the tarball format which you can untar any place you like, so we need to do something to keep consistence between tarball format and PPA format, such as the structure of tool chain folders and the test of PPA format. So yes, the PPA way is in our plan now and will be provided once those issues get settled. So far the tarball format is still our focus.

Can you help with this problem?
