Hi. <br><br>My project is the "Automated Multi-Arch cross-building and bootstrapping" one. I'm going to concentrate on circular dependencies breaking and making a tool to sequence bootstrap builds.<br><br>In the past weeks I studied about the related documentation available
at debian wiki and other internet sites. I don't have so much things to
write about this because I was just understanding
all the documentations and definitions related to the problem. <br><br>As
a conclusion of this first step I may say that I am very interested in
the project. I don't have all the stuffs clearly in my mind but I hope
I understood the main things. Also I'm glad to see that the
debian/ubuntu community is very helpful.<br><br>Currently I am doing I bash script that returns the build sequence of a given package and its dependencies. If the sequence has a cycle, it will return the dependency graph. I had some problems using xdeb to make the cross-build because xdeb needs the source of the packages. To solve this problem, I am going to try a patch.<br>
<br>The following step is to use the script to find the loops of a given set of packages needed to bootstrap Debian in a given architecture and so brake the cycles. Finally, I'm going to be able to make a tool to automate the bootstrap process.<br>

</div>We do not want the juciy details, just an overview of how things are going,<br>
the report can be written answered to 3 points:<br>
- a few lines of what you have been working in previous 2 weeks (I wrote the<br>
spec for this, then update the code that you can see at xXX and I talked<br>
with my mentor about this and that)<br>
- report in what you got stuck, and if you solved it and how.<br>
- report what you are planning to do in the future 2 weeks.<br>
<br>
Also, the reports from Ishan and Guillaume are quite OK, take a look to them :)<br>
