Debian Conference 2015 The annual Debian developer meeting

Bootstrapping an architecture refers to building the initial set of binary packages to populate the archive. The early phase discussed in this talk uses cross building to obtain essential packages. The following questions will be addressed:

Why should we care about architecture bootstrap? What aspects are manual, but don't have to be? What are build profiles and why do we need them? Which packages need to support cross compilation? How to translate Build-Depends for a cross build?
