Summary: use ARCHITECTURE instead of ARCH for cache names
Product: Sorcery
Version: Devel
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Cast
AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
ReportedBy: eric AT sandall.us


To make binary installs across architectures more supported (mainly for
heterogeneous networks) so that each binary would only need to be compiled
once
for each architecture (normally pentium3, pentium4, etc.).

Ex.

I have a network of 60 machines here which range from 486 to Pentium 4 Xeon
(and
a few athlons, a SPARC64, and a Irix, the latter two of which will not be
used
in this)(most of these run Windows, but if I were to put SMGL on them, this is
how I would like it). I would like to have one large /var/cache/sorcery
mounted
via NFS on every machine and use Cabal to have the machines update (I'd have a
group of one machine of each architecture for initial compilation, then
another
group with the rest of the machines), which would just use the binary tarball
in
/var/cache/sorcery/<spell>-<version>-<architecture>-<blah> specific to their
architecture (i.e. the Pentium 3's would uncompress -pentium3- and the Athlon
XP's would uncompress -athlon-xp-).

I haven't look, but this should, theoretically, be easy by changing what
Sorcery
looks for in /var/cache/sorcery to using the Sorcery-defined ${ARCHITECTURE}
rather than the compiler (IIRC) defined ${ARCH}.
