This Binutils package is based on the CodeSourcery %{cs_date}-%{cs_rel} release, which includes improved ARM target support compared to the corresponding FSF release. CodeSourcery contributes their changes to the FSF, but it takes a while for them to get merged. For the ARM target, effectively CodeSourcery is upstream of FSF. Note that this is part of a cross-development chain targeting "bare-metal" development or for use with an embedded RTOS, as opposed to cross-developing for Linux. This review request obsoletes an earlier review request for arm-none-eabi-binutils, bug #565313.

Can you comment on how this relates to the existing armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi-binutils review ticket (bug 509798)? I've no idea if you're trying to package the same thing or not.
This toolchain is for "bare-metal" cross-development, not for a Linux target. That's why it is "arm-none-eabi" rather than "arm<something>-unknown-linux-gnueabi". The -linux-gnueabi tools are well-suited for cross-development for a Linux target, and not so well-suited for bare metal. That's why CodeSourcery has completely independent builds of the toolchain they distribute.
I would like to see a working "bare-metal" cross-development toolchain for arm7tdmi based microcontrollers in Fedora (my use case will be an ADUC7026). Are you still interested in this package? If so, I'd like to do a review, and also help with other packages for the toolchain.
Unfortunately it's been nearly a year since that "are you still interested" query with no response, so I'll just go ahead and close this out.
I'm interested in packaging this. Taking over.

Fedora Account System Username: mhlavink -------------------------------------- It was noted in comment #0 and #3 - this is targeted for bare-metal arm development (st's STM32xxxx, atmel's SAMxxxx and similar microcontrollers - like avr). -------------------------------------- rpmlint is not silent: 1) macros in comments - these are just plain strings used is commented-out URLs, so no ugly macros with side-effects 2) Source0 is not in an URL form, because original tarball has 147 MB and contains just several tarballs - we need just one of them. So, to save space, Source0 is just that tarball and there is comment how and where to obtain it.
