I've never liked rhpl.getArch() and would really like to see it go
away completely. Uses of it in anaconda sort of hide what values
you
are really testing for. When you rhpl.getArch() hands you 's390',
that really means s390 and s390x. And so on. I would prefer to
explicitly test os.uname().
That gets a little ugly, just due to the multitude of uname returns
for
i386. But it's definitely doable.
I'm thinking functions like:
isPPC()
isX86()
isS390()
Sounds good to me; probably in iutil, just because isys is (nominally)
things which are binding something written in C. Anyone want to
volunteer to do this? It should be a pretty straight-forward patch
Already half-way through. Going relatively fast. Will post to the
list shortly.
