Re: dpkg architecture

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com>]

Hi,

	Yes, the kernel package rules file does use the dpkg
 architecture command, which is used to generate the file/distribution
 name (we have valid architectures listed as i386, m68k, sparc? and
 alpha, I think, but we do not have 486/586/pentium/686/ppro, (look at
 stable/unstable binary-XXX directories on any Debian archive).

	I do not think this is a problem, since the configuration of
 the kernel is left upto the user,  (ie make menuconfig), and they may
 specify whatever processor type the want; the kernel produced depends
 on that, not on the value that debian/rules has determined.
