I guess people want the official OBS to have the generic i686 target so it becomes a supported Architecture. The logic is valid, this is a community project, why does the x86 port only support the Intel atom? If it's just the speed then we could just have two targets, atom and generic i686. > > greg k-h > _______________________________________________ > MeeGo-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev > _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
