Debian Conference 2015 The annual Debian developer meeting

Discussion of current cross-building state in Debian.

• Cross-toolchains

• Cross-dependencies

• Multiarching more packages

• Using build profiles

We have cross-toolchains in the archive, but disagreement about the best way to do it. Should they have multiarch dependencies or be standalone?

Should Multilib be deprecated?

Lots of packages need multiarch metadata

Should we use multiarch for gcc-for-host and gcc-for-build dependencies? In Stretch?

Make CC_FOR_BUILD policy?

LLVM cross-toolchains?
