Hi all,
While cleaning up the Darwin and Solaris profiles, I noticed that there
is some redundancy in masks (necessary) due to the structure based on
single inheritance:
<os>/<release>/<arch>
e.g.
darwin/10.4/ppc
darwin/10.4/x86
darwin/10.5/ppc
darwin/10.5/x86
Most e.g. masks in the ppc dirs are specific for the CPU, and not really
bound to the OS release. So I propose the following structure:
<os>/<arch>
<os>/<release>/<arch> (inherits from .. and ../../<arch>)
This way a single mask can e.g. apply to all PPC versions of Mac OS X.
Similar for Solaris' sparc, sparc64, x86 and x64.
Does this make sense, or am I missing something obvious? Better ideas?
(note that I (hopefully) kept full backwards compatability with this scheme)
