I am not most certainly not trying to merge them all back into the mess we had |
| 11 |
before the ARCH-split. |
| 12 |
Only the very similar ones can be merged. x86 and AMD64 were almost identical, |
| 13 |
and you so is IA64, same tools, terminology (e.g. partitions, not slices), |
| 14 |
partitioning plans, structure... |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
*bootloader*, very different on all other arches, not mergeable |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
*kernel*, might be worth a look, main differences are genkernel (yes|no), |
| 19 |
kernel names & location of compiled one. The list of required kernel options |
| 20 |
might lead to a lengthy series of code samples, though. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
*disk*, partitions vs. slices, partitioning plans are all different, common |
| 23 |
bits in those files are low-maintenance, not mergeable. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
*medium*, looks like some could be merged. |
