Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2008-07-19 23:44:56 UTC 
Note that you macro si incomplete, there are othe sparc architecture that have
been mentioned in *.rpm packages.

E.g. Here's what is @rpm5.org already:

# and sparc
%sparc sun4 sun4m sun4c sun4d sun4u sparc sparcv8 sparcv9 sparc64 sparc64v sparcv9b sparcv9v 
sparcv9v2

I will add @rpm5.org
     %sparc %{sparcx}
at the first indication that %{sparcx} is preferred over %{sparc} as the "official" all sparc architectures
RPM macro to be used for all *.rpm packaging.

Have fun!
Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2008-07-20 00:07:28 UTC 
Alternative -- have it your own way! -- %{sparcx} macro added @rpm5.org. Thanks for the patch!

Easier to add than to discuss further ...

Have fun!
Comment 4 Panu Matilainen 2008-08-05 11:55:28 UTC 
Whatever rpm5.org does is their business... but %sparc would be more in line with the other arch macros, eg:

# arch macro for all supported Alpha processors
%alpha  alpha alphaev56 alphaev6 alphaev67

Would that be ok with you?
Comment 5 Dennis Gilmore 2008-08-05 22:38:01 UTC 
%sparc  is fine   i chose sparcx  based on ix86  but as long as i can use in a spec %ifarch <foo>  and have it work for all im happy.
Comment 6 Panu Matilainen 2008-08-06 05:43:17 UTC 
Ok, %sparc added in head and 4.4.x branch upstream, thanks for the patch. Will be in rawhide once the next snapshot update happens (in a few days).
