Package:dpkg
Version:1.16.3
Severity: wishlist
Here is a simple patch to give dpkg support for the forthcoming 64-bit
arm architecture, called arm64 in Debian and aarch64 upstream.
So far as I can tell only cputable has to change, and I couldn't find
anything else to change in dpkg as config.{sub,guess} have already
been updated, so this really is a one-liner. Do tell if I've missed
something. dpkg-architecture certainly works as expected.
Having this in wheezy would be helpful to the porters.
Wookey
