-TMI is using the msp430 toolchain based on GCC version 4.4.3.
+As of the release of Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, an up-to-date version of the
+MSP430 cross toolchain is available in the standard repositories.  For this
+reason, TMI is no longer maintaining its own packages, which ultimately use the
+same upstream source as the new standard packages do.  See the [[TMI
+Repository|aptrepo]] page for more information.

+As of 2012-06-15, the msp430-gdb package does not install due to a file
+conflict.  This will likely be fixed soon.
