Located in ppa:linaro-maintainers/tools can be found the newest version of live-build, a45 with the following linaro features applied:
1) armhf support (both native and cross) 2) linaro meta bld information as was discussed at 4Q11 Linaro Connect 3) cross support using multistrap
Live build a45 supports Maverick, Natty, Oneiric and Precise. With you are you able to build your own images native on an armel or armhf host or cross using either an i386 or x86_64 host creating either armel or armhf targets.
For image targets up to oneiric, one is not able to cross assemble the ubuntu-desktop image. However with precise all linaro images including the ubuntu-desktop image can be cross assembled.
Enjoy!

Hi Tom, what are the chances of these changes getting into the live-build carried in Ubuntu 12.04? thanks Jani

Hi Tom, what are the chances of these changes getting into the live-build carried in Ubuntu 12.04?
1) armhf support (both native and cross) is supported by upstream version 2) linaro meta support is missing upstream 3) cross support using debootstrap is supported upstream
That said, it make more sense to merge upstream live-build 3.0 a45. Btw, that's the version I'm using to build Precise armhf preview images: https://ci.linaro.org/jenkins/view/Ubuntu%20Build%20Service/
Cheers,

I've approached the debian live-build community a couple of times. I think the armhf support is a no brainer and yes I'll push the couple of necessary changes for that upstream into debian.
meta bld information unfortunately is really just for linaro so I don't see much interest in that but you never know.
The addition of multistrap support has also been discussed upstream. It seemed that between debootstrap, cdebootstrap, mutlistrap and/or plan D, the live-build community had an interest in creating plan D. I haven't seen anything sprout up yet. It's been a good 6 months so who knows perhaps the winds have changed.
In the case of multistrap, it does support multiple archives for bootstrapping a system, which is a desirable trait given our use of the overlay ppa.
thanks Jani
