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?
Facets, although now implemented, haven't been used just yet in our
packages. I believe that was intended to happen during package refactoring.
The best examples for using them are found in the unit tests in the
pkg(5) gate. You'll want to look at src/tests/cli/t_change_facet.py for
an example.
Cheers,
