Re: dpkg multiple arch support (Re: RFC: pentium optimized debian)

[Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net>]

I've now implemented this new /etc/dpkg/architectures file that I proposed.

root@kite:~joey/debian/pentium/OK> dpkg -i ae_962-21_pentium.deb 
dpkg: error processing ae_962-21_pentium.deb (--install):
 package architecture (pentium) does not match system (i386)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ae_962-21_pentium.deb
 
root@kite:~joey/debian/pentium/OK> echo "i386: i386 all pentium" >/etc/dpkg/architectures

root@kite:~joey/debian/pentium/OK> dpkg -i ae_962-21_pentium.deb
(Reading database ... 55749 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace ae 962-21 (using ae_962-21_pentium.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement ae ...

I've uploaded dpkg 1.4.0.26.2 that has support for this to experimental. All
the packages at http://kitenet/net/~joey/pentium/OK/ will soon be rebuilt to
use the pentium architecture, instead of the Optimization field hack.
