Maybe it should be `uname -m` rather than `uname -p` but then that gives sun4v rather than space. But maybe that is what we want. However I think what we really want is `isainfo` or maybe `isainfo -n`. It might even be desireable in some cases to use `isalist` output rather than `isainfo` I think that `uname -p` is far too limiting for variant.arch on x86 but `uname -p` is interesting for sparc (because it distinguishes sun4u from sun4v etc). -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
