If you're referring to the FTP directory tree layout we wind up with:
.../releases/amd64/9.0-RELEASE
.../releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0
for an example of uname -m =3D=3D uname -p. But for our two powerpc relate=
d
architectures we get:
.../releases/powerpc/9.0-RELEASE
.../releases/powerpc/ISO-IMAGES/9.0
.../releases/powerpc/powerpc64/9.0-RELEASE
.../releases/powerpc/powerpc64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0
I'm not sure I like the inconsistency.
Or were you referring to the ISO / memstick filenames? If that's what
you were referring to then we get
FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-powerpc-bootonly.iso
FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-bootonly.iso
If pc98 were being done we'd get
.../releases/pc98/i386/9.0-RELEASE
.../releases/pc98/i386/ISO-IMAGES/9.0
FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-pc98-i386-bootonly.iso
I guess. Was that the proposal? Again I'm not fond of any of the
alternatives but if that's what we wind up with personally I'm more
in favor of "silly filenames" over needing to explain the
inconsistencies.
