One of the things that would be nice for a replacement to do would be to correctly install i386 packages on amd64 platforms (and similar things). The binaries will run if we have all the libraries installed, but getting them installed is painful. At the very least, an installed package needs to know what platform it was built for, so that packages being installed cross-platform have a chance of figuring out whether or not the installed version of FOO will work for them, or they need to get a version for their specific platform. If the new version can't make cross-platform installs work, hopefully that goal can be kept in mind while the work is beign done. Personally, I'd still like LOCALBASE to move out of /usr/local. Maybe it's time to reconsider that. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
