The more specific naming is a good idea. Infact, it was something that was potentially interesting to consider. In particular, I was thinking of using the target triple as the multibuild target. It is explicit as well as easy to identify what is supported/has been tested. It could also allow for more interesting extensions in the future. > >> We haven't decided anything wrt. to multilib in a couple of years now. > > Well then I hereby decide that we're going to switch to using (-). > > _______________________________________________ > Exherbo-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.exherbo.org/mailman/listinfo/exherbo-dev -- Saleem Abdulrasool compnerd (at) compnerd (dot) org _______________________________________________ Exherbo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.exherbo.org/mailman/listinfo/exherbo-dev
