And maybe more appropriately whether Canonical will be providing the infrastructure to build them? > we don't support cross-grading from 32-bit to 64-bit. Indeed and it's ridiculously difficult. I tried it with multi-arch and it would simply take a lot of extra effort to convert all the packages. Changing kernels is easy but that's a small part of the problem. But a fresh install using the existing $HOME would do the trick. Just make sure to have a `dpkg -l` to restore all the packages. Should be pretty easy, no? -- @wxl | polka.bike C563 CAC5 8BE1 2F22 A49D 68F6 8B57 A48B C4F2 051A -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
