Yes!! I actually grep'ed among all my (100+) packages but did not see an example. I may be missing the best way to do this: so is this (new to me) 'architecture-is-64-bit' the way to do it? A quick 'apt-cache search' leads me to 'architecture-properties'. I would be in favor. So thanks for the suggestion! Are there concerns or side effects or our desire to build for as many platforms as possible etc? Dirk -- dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
