* De: Juli Mallett <jmallett@FreeBSD.org> [ Data: 2003-01-28 ] [ Subjecte: Re: Patch to teach config(8) about "platforms". ] In short, platform provides machinery for a single port of FreeBSD which represents exactly one MACHINE_ARCH to support a numbe of different hardware platforms - MACHINE - under a unified system, without interfering with how anything works, and without doing it in a convoluted/imho-backwards way. There is not a way to mix MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH within a single port, as it is now. You have to duplicate things like pc98 does. -- Juli Mallett <jmallett@FreeBSD.org> AIM: BSDFlata -- IRC: juli on EFnet OpenDarwin, Mono, FreeBSD Developer ircd-hybrid Developer, EFnet addict FreeBSD on MIPS-Anything on FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
