Description Dominik Heidler 2010-09-07 10:10:29 UTC

This works well with SUSE, but doesn't with Fedora.

Comment 1 Dominik Heidler 2010-09-10 11:48:09 UTC

In fedora $basearch is used, while we use $arch in suse

Comment 2 Michael Schröder 2010-09-10 12:15:32 UTC

I think we use neither $arch nor $basearch in suse.

Comment 3 Dominik Heidler 2010-09-10 12:31:18 UTC

Yes, but we could do it.

Comment 4 Michael Andres 2010-09-10 13:12:15 UTC

$basearch has been introduce to fit fedora's usecase. So we should document and substitute whatever fits their needs. 

AFAIK $basearch is the arch before noarch (which is what we substitute now), if it's not a multilib arch(x86_64,sparc64v,sparc64,ppc64,s390x).

Comment 5 Dominik Heidler 2010-09-10 16:06:22 UTC

fixed in libzypp 8.2.0
