Well, by the package name I meant not only a package file name. Let's imagine that we do support installing i386 packages on amd64 in parallel to amd64 packages. And for some reason I want to have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of, say, firefox; e.g. for benchmarking. If the packages would have the same name, then that would be impossible. I think that having some thing in package name in addition to package metadata could have certain benefits. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
