Re: Debian AMD64 Porters - Debian AMD64 Official Naming



I forgot to mention in my previous email that x86_64 can not be used and
Scott has acknowledged this due to the way dpkg uses _ for separators,
the fact that _ can't be in debian arch names, and the fact that _ can't
be used in dns for use with the new scc archive mirroring.

So the only potential choices would be x86-64 or amd64, x86-64 would
likely cause confusion in scripts and code due to it being so similiar
to x86_64.
