Thanks for these fixes introduced in the 3.4-3 package. Unfortunately, I have
to reopen this bug, because the following parts are still not fixed:
> > 1) use version (>= ${Source-Version}) for Depends or Recommends on gcc,
> > gcc-doc, etc.
binutils-<target>-linux still depends on:
gcc (>= 2.95.2-1)
binutils (>= 2.9.5.0.12)
debhelper (>= 3)
Should probably be:
gcc (>= ${Source-Version})
binutils (>= 2.15)
debhelper (>= 4.2)

binutils-<target>-linux control file is still at standard version 3.0.1.1.

Done. Thanks.

Fixed by generating separate packages. Thanks.

Along the same type of bugs, I notice that binutils is generated with the user
as Maintainer, while gcc is generated with Debian GCC Maintainers as maintainer.
IMHO, it should probably be the user in both cases, since the Debian GCC team
cannot be held responsible of a user's sel-built cross-compiler.

Won't ${Source-Version} refere to the binutils version and not the
corresponding gcc version?

You'r probably right here.

Right!

They should both have the user as Maintainer yes (I must have intreduced
some bug just before I released :(

You are talking about the Build-Depends here? Eg what compilers are needed
to build the binutils package, and I do think the stated requerments is
enough. So unless you've had problems build the binutils package with the
stated requrements I'll change the requrement on gcc to >= 3.3, and leve the
rest as they are.

Hmm... Right. how about using ${Depends:misc} to insert the value based on the
version of the toolchain-source package, via debian/rules?

Btw, is it normal for the resulting cross-GCC to depend upon cross-libgcc2 and
recursively on cross-libc6?

Indeed build-depends. GCC >= 3.3 should be OK, although IIRC there was a change
of binary format on some arches since 3.4, so since toolchain-source is up to
3.4.3, maybe the same version should be build-depends for the host compiler.
Same thing for binutils.
For debhelper, I would at least put >= 4, just to be safe.

As 3.3 is the default compiler for debian system I wont demand anything more
unsless it is striclty necessery, and as far as I can tell 3.3 does a good job
in producing the compiler.

OK
