What the spec etc syntax for that would be I dunno, maybe just "Requires: foo%{_abi}" which would expand to foo(<abi name>), eg foo(ppc32). Or something like that. Does that make sense to others, or am I just out to luch as usual? ;)Well I like personality because it does match other things that are trying to express the same thing. I don't like abi because we're already using that for things like python(abi) to express a certain level of ABI from an application stack rather than a CPU.
Agreed, "abi" is bad, it's much too overloaded with different meanings in several domains. I'm not hung about "personality" either, but at least it's a good example of the kind of term I'm shopping for.
