Hi,
I noticed that /bin/arch has been removed in release 2.13-pre1.
While this command is equivalent to uname -m, it is used by some
old scripts. Any chance to keep this for compatibility reasons?
Good point.
Yes, I'd like to keep it. It seems that many people (include me :-)
use it. We (Red Hat) have tried to remove it from our distros, but
without success. I think maintain this tiny tool is without any
overhead.
#!/bin/sh
exec /bin/uname -m
Either that, or just make uname detect a link to "arch".
