Re: smarter way to differ architectures needed?



This is very much a concern of mine.  What I was thinking of as an interim
measure was another line in the control file something like this:-

Platform: linux, or Platform: hurd, or Platform: all (Platform: whatever)?

imho, we need to educate people that the Hurd is not another architecture,
but second platform, and so needs to be treated differently from
architectures.
