Emdebian adds SH4 support for unstable.
February 24th, 2009
Nobuhiro Iwamatsu asked about SH4 support in Emdebian via the Debian Embedded mailing list and a short discussion ensued about the practicalities of such support.
One issue is that packages only exist for SH4 for unstable which causes some issues with normal Emdebian Grip processing. This means that only packages from unstable can be supported in Emdebian until such time as SH4 becomes a full release architecture for Debian. Unless this happens before Squeeze is frozen, SH4 cannot be part of the Emdebian Grip 2.0 release.
Some packages still need to be built for SH4 but these will be added to Emdebian Grip as the port proceeds.
