Hello, Not sure if I'm posting it to the right place, but this is a developer-related question so hopefully it's in the right place. I will be starting an internship project with CIP United, a company specialized in MIPS processors, and will be porting Arch to MIPS64 R6. And my project supervisor would like to know pacman's patch policies for architecture-specific modifications. I have already asked on arch-ports list and was told by people from Arch Linux 32 that the pacman codebase is generally portable, but I see them maintaining a fork for certain i486-specific optimizations. I have also looked at the readme files (HACKING etc.) but was unable to find a clear statement of your patch policies. Therefore, I would like to know some details about your patch policies, especially the ones regarding non-amd64 architectures. Thank you for your time and have a nice day. Sincerely Tom
