Hi Emmanouil,

when reading your commit log I wonder whether I fully understand this
but IMHO the source package needs to contain all packages.txt.<arch>
files to be able to create the installation medium for any target
architecture in question.

But may be I might have missunderstood something.

OK that can be easily via a loop for architecture and generate all the packages.txt.<arch> files. For the moment I did it like Petter suggested, I am using by default the arch of the host where the rule "packages.txt" of the Makefile is called and also the script can get -a in case you want to override the target arch. Should I do it differently? I did a small fix to the code so now I think it is ready for testing if you want.

I tried to execute the rule "packages-sorted.txt" in blends/devtools/Makefile where it also calls the by_vote: rule and I get 404 found i when it tries to do:

wget http://developer.skolelinux.no/popcon/by_vote

Should we replace the link with a new one?

Kind regards

Emmanouil
