Is there a need for a seperate column? Would it not be eaiser to parse |
| 20 |
the profile name to extract that information. This would then allow you |
| 21 |
to search for all profiles that are valid for eg x86 BSD or alpha linux. |
| 22 |
Are there any situations where the arch and/or OS are not in the profile |
| 23 |
path? From a quick glance the non-default profiles (hardened, uclibc, |
| 24 |
embedded etc) do not specify a -linux in the profile which would mean |
| 25 |
either dropping the OS query, putting an OS column in or changing the |
| 26 |
profiles (which has the advantage of making them more consistant). |
