Are we postponing this to the next release? I hope not ... I'm a quite happy owner of amd64 machines, so happy that I've only amd64 machines for my desktops, and maintaining a chroot to use openoffice is quite annoying (same is true for quake/et but I assume it won't bother debian that much ;p) More seriously, with the popularity of amd64 and emt64 enabled PIV, there will be quite a big number of machines that would need such multiarch. and waiting for etch does not seems like a valid option, especially if etch isn't ready in the year (which seems not really sensible/possible/...<put your reason here>). IMHO, either amd64/pure64/... will become a release arch and in that case we have to have a solution for multiarch, either amd64 is not a released arch .. and that bothers me. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
