amd64 is in the same architecture "family" as i386, so I dont see any relevant conflict in that comparison. The prior (very old) thread did explicitly agree, AFAIR, that for opencsw purposes, it does mean "binaries=none". > Interestingly the man page for pkginfo(4) makes no mention of "all": However, it is a clear de-facto standard employed by sun. For example, the following packages in the solaris distribution: SUNWjdmk-base SUNWjhdem SUNWjhdev SUNWjhdoc SUNWjhrt SUNWmlibk These are all "ARCH=all" as defined by the the pkginfo . > "Third party application software > should restrict itself to ARCH values from the following > Solaris-supported instruction set architectures (uname > -p): sparc, i386, and ppc." and you'll notice that "ppc" is a valid "ARCH". Therefore, if you're going by strict definitions, something cannot claim to support "all" ARCH values, unless it supports ppc. Does the package in question do that? :-} _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
