**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Nov 02 02:59:57 2013 Nov 02 18:47:32 How can I runtime determine if a system is armel or armhf? Nov 02 18:48:24 uname -m? Nov 02 18:49:15 It return armv7l on armel at least. I dont have a armhr system right now, but I'd guess it returns the same Nov 02 18:50:18 armel vs armhf is not about the machine, its about a gcc config (of sorts) Nov 02 18:51:57 I' Nov 02 18:52:08 I'll answer myself: dpkg --print-architecture Nov 02 23:21:47 Tassadar: uname is never the right way to determine userspace arch, on any arch. Nov 02 23:34:36 infinity: why? it takes info only from the kernel? Nov 02 23:35:13 Tassadar: Exactly that, yes. Nov 02 23:35:35 k, I'll remember that, thanks) Nov 02 23:35:48 Tassadar: You can have an i386 userspace on an x86_64 kernel, or powerpc on ppc64 or, in fun virtualisation scenarios, things like armhf on i386. Nov 03 02:46:15 infinity, it gets especially fun in virtualisation scenarios like with virtualbox or vmware **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Nov 03 02:59:58 2013
