Is there a need for a seperate column? Would it not be eaiser to parse the profile name to extract that information. This would then allow you to search for all profiles that are valid for eg x86 BSD or alpha linux. Are there any situations where the arch and/or OS are not in the profile path? From a quick glance the non-default profiles (hardened, uclibc, embedded etc) do not specify a -linux in the profile which would mean either dropping the OS query, putting an OS column in or changing the profiles (which has the advantage of making them more consistant). -- Jerome Brown Technology Architect Hub.Net P: +64 3 961-5116 M: +64 29 453 7663 F: +64 3 961-5129 E: jerome@hub.net.nz W: http://www.hub.net.nz/ O: Level 4, 818 Colombo St, Christchurch, New Zealand S: PO Box 1879, Christchurch, New Zealand -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
