Hi Nicolas,

do you know when these packages will end up in ubuntu archives? can we expect them to be available in 10.10 timeframe?
How about cross compilation of packages, is that working? e.g. can I create an ARM .deb from my x86 machine (assuming my upstream can be cross compiled?).
Cross-compilation of packages works, but is dependent on both the upstream and the packaging being cross-build-friendly. I guess if it's your own package, then you've addressed this. :)

I was able to cross compile some of my package with dpkg-buildpackage -aarmel. However I am not able to install the -dev packages that I generated (it contains .h files that are required to build my next set of packages). I have used dpkg -a armel -i foo_armel.deb, and it complains about pkg-config-armel-cross missing. what is the standard procedure to install build-dep so that I can build all my packages? the package files (.h, .la) have been installed in /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi, but not the .so (which kind of make sense). but should I worry about the pkg-config issue?
When does it complain about pkg-config-armel-cross? That doesn't sound like intended behavior, but I've not looked at pkg-config handling within dpkg-cross and the like.
Why do you say it makes sense not to install the .so in /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi? Sounds to me like a rather critical bit of the -dev package to have included.
