Hey Dave,
Was there any thought given to how one would generate an install for a 32-bit
only system? Conversely, could one build an install image that was only
designed to boot 64-bit? This could be useful, for example, to minimize the
size of a netboot image.
Faceting package contents as 32- vs. 64-bit should be most of the work,
followed by expressing that facet into the installation process.
It sounds like you're suggesting that this would require some modification to
the manifests, is that right? Can you provide some examples of either how this
has been done or how it could be done?
Right, the package manifests would need to tag the objects with the
correct facets; I'd think a couple of transform rules to pkgmogrify
could do most of the work. Then in DC or AI we'd need to set those
facets in creating the image. I'm not aware of any use of faceting yet
in the system, though, so examples are scarce :-)
Dave
