Hi folks, Surely English is not my mother language, but I think the difference between "build" and "host" architectures in the dpkg documentation (e.g. dpkg-architecture(1)) is pretty confusing. IMU "building something" is a creative process, i.e. to introduce something new. But in Debian's terminology the build architecture is unchanged by this creative step. Instead a "host architecture" is affected. In computing a "host" is some kind of server, or a remote machine to logon. There is no association to creating something. A host is something passive. Wouldn't it be more easy for everybody to use "build" and "target" architecture in the terminology? Just a suggestion. Regards Harri
