The only place where I spot Atool still being used is ContributeRecipe in Compile. (That should probably be updated.) I updated the docs, thanks. > 4) I am using Rootless on x86_64.

That auto-compilation during Rootless installation is a convenience hack (or to put in nicer terms, a necessity of environment bootstrapping), but I don't want to add compilation-triggering logic in the behavior of InstallPackage, which is designed for binary packages. The right behavior would be for InstallPackage to really honor the architecture field, so, i686 packages shouldn't even install under x86_64. Updates should happen through Compile only. But yeah, I don't think we post recipes for every tool release, so I'd say the current behavior is "good enough" for now. Rootless is really aimed for the "you know what you're doing" crowd, anyway. -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
