Of course they will, because they contains source code. Of course, sometimes there will be different versions of a package marked stable in x86 and amd64, and some patch files are arch-specific, but generally most packages use the same source files whatever the architecture. I use a shared $DISTDIR for x86, ~x86, ~amd64 and ~ppc systems. -- Neil Bothwick Do hungry crows have ravenous appetites?
Yeah, you're right. Now that I re-read it, I realized I was thinking, for some odd reason, that he was talking about the kernel. -- - Mark Shields
