[Launchpad Bug Tracker <634494@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jamie Bennett (jamiebennett):

This is a request for freeze exception for including a set of new
packages in maverick: armel-cross-toolchain-base, armel-cross-toolchain,
and gcc-defaults-armel-cross.  These packages build-depend on the
eglibc, GCC, and binutils source and provide a set of Ubuntu-style
packages containing cross-compilers for the armel architecture.

These packages are currently staged in a ppa at
https://launchpad.net/~hrw/+archive/arm-cross-compiler/, and a git
repository is available at <git://github.com/hrw/linaro-armel-cross-
toolchain.git>.  These packages are widely useful to anyone doing
development work targeting ARM systems, few of which have resources
today for native builds.

As entirely new packages, the risks from late inclusion to the archive
are minimal; nevertheless it was our intention to get these in before
feature freeze, but delivery has slipped because of a dependency on the
various fixes needed in the base toolchain packages to support this, so
a FFe is now needed.  If the FFe is not granted, the packages will
continue to be distributed via PPA.
