[Tinyos-devel] Debian package dependencies

[Jan Beutel]

Kevin,

Two things I noticed:

uisp is still mangled inside the tools/ dir and probably intended to go into
the tinyos-tools package. But if you make it so explicit that you install
avrdude-tinyos (my guess is in compatibility to the whole winavr package...)
why not give uisp it's own package too? 

You list a number of conflicts for the avr-* pkgs... what about people that
want to coexist with other compiler versions on one machine? E.g for non-tos
projects. Or for t-1x and t-2x and so on..... I know it's hard to satisfy
bleeding edge people (that compile tools themselves) and the big crowd at
once.... any thoughts here? I mean if you go through such a lot of work to
make it work why not default install tinyos and tools in a truly separate
dir and not where "standard" packages are going, e.g. usr/bin? Then you
could leave a "standard" avr-gcc or as matter of fact any other avr-gcc in
place!?

I usually install tools into /usr/local/tos2 /usr/local/tos1
/usr/local/my_last_try_tos2 and then just add the bin to the path env
variable for whatever I am working on. Not sure if that's the "right" way. I
know some people that don't' like it that way but hey - it works (on any
machine architecture btw.)

Well, not really serious issues I guess ;-)

Subject: [Tinyos-devel] Debian package dependencies

Right now, the dependencies for installing all the necessary packages
from the tinyos debian repository are all screwed up.  As we rebuild
these packages in preperation for the upcming tinyos-2.1 release, I'm
proposing the following set of dependencies between packages.  What do
people think?

## Concise List of Dependencies/Conflicts between all tinyos packages ###
