[Tinyos-help] tinyos source packages?

[Kevin Klues]

There is no particular reason other than the newer compiler hasn't
been thoroughly tested by us to make sure there are no problems with
it. The  3.2.3 version is known to work and so we stuck with it.  Now
that we have the debian repository though, there is no reason not to
allow alternate msp430 packages to be installed (or other tools for
that matter).  I can just create a 'virtual' msp430-tinyos package
that is instantiated by the various versions.  That way the tinyos
packages can depend on the virtual package, and the developer can
install the version they think is appropriate.
