Control File: invalid architecture

Submitted by Alexis Wilke on Sat, 03/23/2013 - 08:18

The Architecture field specifies the architecture necessary for this package to run. Although you can always install a package with the wrong architecture on any target (with the --force-architecture command line option), by default wpkg does not allow you.

To make sure that all packages have a valid architecture, the packager checks the Architecture at build time. If it does not match an architecture that wpkg understands, then an error is emitted and the process ends.

VALIDArchitecture: $(architecture())
Architecture: linux-i386
Architecture: amd64

INVALIDArchitecture: ppc
Architecture: any
Architecture: blue
