Better yet DEB_HOST_ARCH_BITS. :) If we want to support that, we should add a new column to /usr/share/dpkg/cputable. Guillem, what do you think about it? 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.

It looks mostly fine but: - you should add some comments explaining the new columns in cputable - the parsing in Dpkg::Arch should also support the 3 column format and not only the 5 columns one as the cputable is in dpkg and the parsing code in dpkg-dev and both need not be in sync...
