[[!meta title="Packaging"]]
There are always more source packages to be made. Software that should be
packaged soon includes:
* **[Dropbear](http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html)**
Dropbear is a small SSH server and client, in many ways compatible with
OpenSSH.
In addition to the basic packaging work, there is work to be done on a
service script (just a simple shell script in `/etc/init.d`) and `postinst`
and `postrm` maintainer scripts to generate and delete the SSH host key
pair.
* **[GNU Autoconf](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)**
GNU Autoconf generates `configure` scripts that are used to configure
software packages for building.
Autoconf depends on GNU M4.
* **[GNU Automake](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/)**
GNU Automake generates `Makefile.in` files that are used to build software
packages.
Automake depends on GNU Autoconf.
* **[GNU M4](https://www.gnu.org/software/m4/)**
GNU M4 is a macro processor, notably used by GNU Autoconf.
M4 depends on Perl 5.
* **[Perl 5](http://www.perl.org/)**
Perl 5 is a language interpreter, especially popular in systems
administration and software build and installation systems.
Unmodified Perl 5 source is impossible to cross build without executing
software on the host system (in GNU Autoconf terms, the system for which the
package is built). For more information, see this [mailing list
thread][perl-cross-building] and the [work by Neil Williams for
Debian][debian-perl-cross-build].
* **[GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)](http://gcc.gnu.org/)**
GCC is an optimizing compiler with frontends and libraries for a wide range
of languages.
Binutils and GCC are part of the
[[multiarch_cross_toolchain|dev/todo/multiarch-cross-toolchains]] project.
* **[DAS U-Boot](http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot)**
U-Boot is a bootloader used on many embedded computers, including the
BeagleBoard-xM.
