The mainline Linux effort does not require those specific tools. This should probably at least clearly be mentioned in the help text of the package option. Thanks ! Thomas

The description already mentions it is for the linux-sunxi kernel. Could add the word "non-mainline" though, to avoid confusion. > The mainline Linux effort does not require those specific tools. Yes, but while I applaud the mainline effort, it should be noted that lack of MMC/NAND/USB/framebuffer support in the mainline kernel makes it not useful to the average user yet at this stage. Yours sincerely, Floris Bos

Well, linux-sunxi isn't very explicit for someone that is not very used to the Allwinner platform. There's no way he'll get that it means "the fork of allwinner's linux source code maintained on github by a separate community". Maxime
