[Pkg-gpe-maintainers] GPE in Emdebian

I'm just a little happy right now - I've just built and uploaded the
last dependency for GPE in Emdebian.

http://pkg-gpe.alioth.debian.org/status.php

See also: http://www.emdebian.org/emdebian/helpout.php and
http://www.emdebian.org/emdebian/todo.html after the overnight update.

1,736 Emdebian packages for ARM (a lot of those are -locale- packages
and quite a few -dev). I'll be working on langupdate later and trimming
out the -locale- packages to see if the Emdebian TDeb test
implementation is workable.

The only GPE app causing any trouble is gpe-filemanager because of a
dependency on libgnome-vfs-2.0-0 which depends on
gconf->ldap->libsasl2-2 and libsasl wants to bring in libdb4.4.
Familiar/OE don't use gconf with ldap so there is a fix needed. So we
have matchbox, gtk, nearly all GPE currently in Debian and edos-debcheck
says that all the packages are installable.

I've got some more GPE packages to sort out in Debian too - the current
ITP's need to be closed and a few more opened and also closed:
gpe-terminal, gpe-tetris, gpe-calculator, gpe-login and possibly gpe-today.

Question is now - can I get them to actually create a GPE rootfs and run
?????
;-)

The main point, though, is that there are now sufficient libraries built
for Emdebian that an Emdebian GUI is certainly possible.
