the Gentoo embedded handbook did mention that the portage/tuple values do not |
| 16 |
match the kernel, but ive added some more stuff to make it explicit. |
| 17 |
however, i dont plan on adding a full list mapping the three distinct sets. |
| 18 |
the kernel has been changing arch values over time (ppc and ppc64 were |
| 19 |
unified into ppc, i386 and x86_64 were unified into x86, ...), so instead i |
| 20 |
described how you can discover the value yourself. |
