How do I know that a package will work in an architecture different from mine? --- Lucas Saliés Brum http://sistematico.org lsbrum @ irc.freenode.org
Hello Lucas! Some users who use other architecture, maybe will send you a feedback to work on that, or you can ask other Archlinux users directly to try it on the desired architecture, if they use that one. Best Regards, Laszlo Papp

How do I know that a package will work in an architecture different from mine?
Read the documents that the original coders wrote to see whether there's any indication that it won't. Try to test it if you can. Ask people with other platforms to test it. (I think usually there's very good feedback on AUR for such things, sometimes even advice how to fix it when it does not work). If you are really hardcore, have a virtual machine set up with Arch of the other architecture, so you can test it directly. But that's mostly overkill... Cheers, Greg
All clear for me, thank you all. 2009/8/5, Gergely Imreh <imrehg@gmail.com>:
