Package: python-cmor Version: 2.2.0-1 Severity: important
In cmor/check_CMOR_compliant.py, the following expression is used to check for "32bit systems only":
os.uname()[-1].find("64")
This is a very bad method. It will/can fail on:
- alpha (64-bit userspace but no "64" in machine hardware name);
- hppa ("64" in machine hardware name but 32-bit userspace),
- sparc (as above),
- mips* (as above),
- amd64 (as above if in i386 chroot).
A more portable way would be to use something like:
int(platform.architecture()[0].replace('bit', '')) < 64
but I wonder why this check is needed in the first place.
