Not at the moment, but I suspect it wouldn't be hugely difficult to add. This is an example of the output, from a recent(ish) data set: List of old libraries in testing (53): libsaml6: i386 amd64 armel ia64 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc libtracker-client-0.8-0: i386 amd64 armel ia64 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc libxmltooling4: i386 amd64 armel ia64 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc libxml-security-c15: i386 amd64 armel ia64 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc libdbi0: i386 amd64 armel ia64 kfreebsd-amd64 mips mipsel powerpc s390 Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
