* Package name : barebox-host-tools Version : 2018.05.0 Upstream Author : Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutonix.de> and others * URL : https://barebox.org * License : GPL, LGPL Programming Lang: C Description : useful development tools from the barebox source tree Barebox is a bootloader for booting Linux on embedded devices. Its source tree contains some useful tools which can also be used stand-alone: - bareboxenv: generate or read a barebox environment archive - bareboximd: Extract metadata from a barebox image - imx-usb-loader: USB image loader for i.MX series processors - omap3-usb-loader, omap4_usbboot: USB image loaders for OMAP processors I plan to package the last two tools into separate binary packages. With certain effort, barebox itself could also be packaged as a bootloader, but the host tools should suffice for now. I'm not a Debian maintainer mysqlf, but Uwe (Cc'd) has already offered to sponsor this package.
For the record, the current problem is assembling debian/copyright automatically according to DEP-5. The file headers and copyright holders are not always recognizable by licensecheck, but upstream is discussing about using SPDX in the future, so I'll wait if that helps. - Roland
Hello, I'm working on this (again) and intend to package barebox not only to provide a tools package but also some bootloader images. Roland told me that he currently doesn't find the time to maintain barebox, so I'm taking over this ITP. Best regards Uwe
Hello Uwe, Are you looking for any further assistance with this ITP? I am willing to assist if required.

Hello, I somehow missed your reply, sorry, just found it by chance now. My plan is to first convert barebox to use SPDX to simplify (and only do once) the copyright stuff. If you want to help here, that would be great. I can share my scripting if you want. As you might have noticed it's not top-priority on my side, but occationally I send a conversion patch, the last one is https://git.pengutronix.de/cgit/barebox/commit/?id=e88ac96a532fbe056bf45cfa0fa1ebf28c193c41 Best regards Uwe
