From af6ea195fe729eb18c5362fbc2b0641d8c01ea83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xi Ruoyao Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2022 14:32:33 +0800 Subject: prologue/standards: rewrite LSB description Well, somehow this paragraph has become too imprecise. 1. We don't support IA64. Both Intel and AMD uses x86_64 now, which is referred as "AMD64" because it's first proposed by AMD. Intel attempted to use IA64 (which is a VLIW architecture completely different with x86_64) to compete with AMD64, but failed. Then Intel adapted x86_64. 2. The architecture specific part belongs to Core and Desktop. 3. LFS cannot conform to both AMD64 and IA32 because we don't support multilib. It's "or", not "and". --- prologue/standards.xml | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'prologue/standards.xml') diff --git a/prologue/standards.xml b/prologue/standards.xml index 6d29f8676..6ab757a07 100644 --- a/prologue/standards.xml +++ b/prologue/standards.xml @@ -31,11 +31,11 @@ Linux Standard Base (LSB) Version 5.0 (2015) - The LSB has four separate standards: Core, Desktop, - Runtime Languages, and Imaging.
