If I'm understanding the explanations correctly it's analogous to mixing i386, i586 and i686 packages, not to x86 and x86_64 packages. Parallel installation isn't needed, and opkg will stop people installing armv6 packages on armv4 systems. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
