Whiteboard
[asac, Oct 6, 2011]: please dont lump comments into the work items list; moving the list under the identify packages item to a comment here
[asac, Oct 6, 2011]: package list identified for now apt, bash, gcc-4.5, iproute, iputils, kbd, klibc, libcap2, liblocale-
[asac, Oct 6, 2011]: explode work items to have one item for each package; update whiteboard with status update daily; if nothing happens also update whiteboard stating what package you are working on etc.
[rsalveti, Oct 11, 2011]: Accepting it for 11.10, but with a lower priority. As the remaining work items are not trivial ones, we should at least have all bugs reported and a proper documentation pointing up the current status, and focus on improving the builder tools so people can experiment with different combinations and also reproduce it locally easier.
[rsalveti, Oct 17, 2011] David, we don't want to say we have cross build support of the nano image because it's not completely done (see the amount of open bugs). This BP should be just a wrap up, with instructions and bugs posted and documented.
[dzin, Oct 18, 2011] Restore comment and headline.
[dzin, Nov 8, 2011] Broke out postponed items to bug 865547. Mark as implemented.
Headline: There is now partial Cross Build support of the Linaro Natty Nano image, with current status available at wiki.linaro.org and all bugs reported upstream.
Acceptance: Nano package list published at the wiki, fixes at the tools available at a PPA, cross enabled packages available at a PPA or bugs filed for problematic packages, with proper instructions on how to cross build them, enough to generate the Nano image
