Can we use a format that is more inline with the rest of the depends stuff? Perhaps: pkg (>= 2.1 i386) With the 'i386' being whatever specification you want to dream up. (optional of course) I would suggest that any depends element that has an unmet arch specification would simply be ignored (evaluate to 'true'). Jason
