Hello
There is no attach here.
The script is here: http://the-brannons.com/isanypkg The attachment must have been scrubbed. Plus, gmail doesn't give me copies of mail that I send to the list. Broken, broken gmail!
[2] Should also check the machine (sufficient), because there are packages for example AVR and ARM that from point of view of -any are "architecture-independence". (some "crazy" :P packages have SPARC ELFs) [3] And also (I din't see the script, so i just suppose), you also need to exactarc archives files (.a) and analize the content of each object
Thanks so much for your insight! Your guess was right; I forgot about members of ar archives.
On second thought, I wonder if these sorts of checks should be done within namcap?
They should. Two checks: 1) Is an arch=any package architecture-dependent -> error 2) Is an arch=whatever package architecture-independent -> warning If you know python and have the time, you should write a patch against namcap.git and mail it to Hugo. I told him once that it's a good feature, no idea if he got to it. You can check namcap.git to see if he did something, and check the bugtracker if there is a feature request already. Yay, I just looked at the script and it is in python already, so I guess a patch for namcap is in order :)
