SOC Debian packages and scripts

Project Description

<p> This project will create a set of .deb packages for the tool chain for building RTEMS applications. This will be designed around the same structure that is used for the current rpm packages. In addition to these packages there will scripts set up to help maintain the packages by automating the generation of new packages when a new version of RTEMS is released. These packages will be setup for use on x86 based hardware as a development system and either Ubuntu or Debian as a host operating system. In addition to creating these packages for community use there is the intent to use them to generate a liveCD based off of Ubuntu. </p>= Mentor =

Status

July 22:<br /> <p> Currently working on scripts for automatically generating packages. Retooled the binutils scripts to handle only the architectures that need the main build chain and allow for better cleanup and less disc space usage. Currently working on gcc/newlib, issues with separating binaries into separate deb files currently. </p>

TO DO

<p>

• Build packages on all target distributions.
• Separate the newlib and gcc packages (gcc scripts currently written, needing debugging)
• Implement automation scripts for gcc, newlib, and gdb

</p>

For Ubuntu i386

• Set up automated scripts for generating packages
• Test script generated packages
• Set up and test liveCD

For Debian i386:

• Set up automated scripts for generating packages
• Test script generated packages

For Ubuntu amd64

• Set up automated scripts for generating packages
• Test script generated packages

Completed

• Development machine built <br />
• Set up RTEMS environment<br />
• Get VMWare stuff configured<br />
• Hand rolled i386 toolchain on each development enviroment<br />

For Ubuntu i386

• Get working development environment
