Actually I had some discussion about exporting the wordsize and endianness few months ago on #debian-dpkg with Hector Oron. So I've done some preliminary coding, something like this could do, after some cleanup: <http://git.hadrons.org/?p=debian/dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commitdiff;h=93b1eba1> Thinking about it now, probably easier for people to spell DEB_HOST_ARCH_ENDIAN rather than DEB_HOST_ARCH_ENDIANNESS, though. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
