Why would we put sed hooks in to fix it when you can...just...run...sed yourself? Arch _does_ have the whole "helper scripts are dumb" type philosophy... Why would we provide one command (makepkg) to replace one command (sed)?
Well, because I do a "makeworld". I can of course patch, which is simple with archlinux. The problem is just upgrades, when I need to apply the same patches manually again, or the patches disappear.
Then of course, I could do a script that goes through the whole abs tree, and inserts "i586" if it is not there. But that makes me wonder what purpose the arch= tag have at all?
The arch= tag indicates that we, as the Arch Linux developers, have successfully built a certain package on the given architecture. Since we do not build for i586, we cannot make this claim and so do not add this architecture to the arch= line. -Dan
