Import Debian Wheezy Armhf Packages
roberts:
v0.2 of import now posted and available for both rpiCore and a10Core.
This is only a tool. A work in process. It has been useful for me and for some others as posted.
It is not a panacea. As time permits and feedback is considered hopefully this tool will be honed over time.

Thank you for your work on import. It is now much easier to use. I downloaded links for example with no problems. Unfortunately, the issue I described above (dependencies for mc, perl and maybe others) is still problematic; import now offers a menu to select options, but the menu is empty. I am working on a different Allwinner device (Miniand Hackberry) so perhaps there is some odd difference if import is working on other hardware?
roberts:
OK. I will have the following shortly for v0.3:
1. Download Wheezy Master Index directly from Debian Mirror, lastest seems to be Nov 15.
2. Allow an option for import to skip dependencies and force only the specified package to be downloaded and converted.
Note: The not found items are in /tmp/import.log
Note: With our trusty links browser we can actually browse and even download missing items. :)
Note: I had been able to import mc, but mc did not work becuase bterm needs a terminfo item. :(
roberts:
Re-posted import.tcz affects allwinner only devices.
The Raspberry PI version already downloads direct from Raspbian.
Now the Allwinner version downloads Master Index direct from Debian.
You must remove the current Master Index from your tcedir.
Tested download of both mc and perl. Since I am not a user of either of
these. I could only verify that the extension builds, loads, and an ldd of
the binary passed.
The trivial hello.pl also ran. For mc we will need to find/make a terminfo
for bterm on allwiiner.
More to come...

Thanks, import now seems to work very well, and I gave it a workout importing build-essential and found no issues. Is the bterm font easily changed now that I can access things...seriously ugly in my screen.
