The thought behind making it part of Get_Architecture was more of a way to separate binary package trees than anything else, so, for example, on cygwin, InstallPackage Mtail would look for Mtail--1.1-- i686.Cygwin.tar.bz instead of Mtail--1.1--i686.tar.bz That way, rootless users don't have to deal with binary package incompatibility, because packages that won't work on their setup don't show up at all, which, I thought, was the point behind Get_Architecture anyway. _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
