[arch-dev-public] [RFC] removing /bin/arch
Hi guys, /bin/arch was deprecated from util-linux back in 2007, in favor of `uname -m`. Any objections to not shipping it any longer? Cheers, Tom

Why don't we let upstream decide that? IMO if is installed by make install, then we should keep it. -- Ionuț

Should have been clearer: upstream disabled it by default in August 2007, we have been manually enabling it since. -t

If you are sure that nothing will break, go for it. My only concern here is that it may be difficult at first to identify which packages contain scripts that will be broken if we stop shiping it. Stéphane
