Isn't profiles.desc just a list of *default* profiles though? We want a list |
22 |
of all valid profiles. So I think we should either extend profiles.desc to |
23 |
contain all valid profiles, or add a new file. |
24 |
|
25 |
Looking at profiles.desc did make me realize something though. If we do |
26 |
decided to do a separate file, I think we should list the arch as well along |
27 |
side the profile, kind of like profiles.desc does. This would allow us to get |
28 |
a list of all valid profiles for a certain arch. |
29 |
|
30 |
In the case that I need this for (the eclectic profiles module), it'd be much |
31 |
better IMO to be able to show valid profiles for a certain arch since a valid |
32 |
profile for sparc is obviously not a valid profile for x86. |
33 |
|
34 |
Having a format of something like: |
35 |
|
36 |
alpha default-linux/alpha/2004.3 |
37 |
alpha default-linux/alpha/2005.0 |
38 |
... |
39 |
x86 default-linux/x86/2004.3 |
40 |
... |
41 |
|
42 |
would be ideal IMO. |
