reading through base, it looks like os.arch is set to something

reference platform correctly from there, as it seems that the
values are
different when they're pulled from [option os.arch] versus $
{os.arch}
any care to shed light on this for a newbie tcl'er?
what i essentially want to do is change archive.fulldestpath from
[file
join ${archive.destpath} [option os.platform] [option os.arch]] to
[file
join ${archive.destpath} [option os.platform] ${os.arch}] where
os.arch
is x86_64 or what have you, instead of option os.arch's i386
if i understood the transforms in portmain.tcl then that's what should
be done here. incidentally, after this one change we can actually do
binary distribution via archivemode
I would think ${os.arch} and [option os.arch] refer to the same
variable, and that the syntax difference relates to where in the code
you're accessing it from.
When does os.arch seem to be x86_64? As far as I can tell, the only
possible values for os.arch should be "i386" and "powerpc". I recently
corrected this in the Guide:
http://guide.macports.org/#reference.variables
Perhaps you're thinking of configure.build_arch which could be "i386",
"x86_64", "ppc" or "ppc64"?
