Remove --arch option
atreyasha opened this issue · comments
Because only x86_64 and any architecture types exist in the ALA, we can remove the --arch option and any corresponding logic.
@pbrisbin do you want to have this fixed before releasing? If so, what should the two options be?
As per my understanding, the ALA only offers x86_64 and any options for architectures. I could not find i686 options and they are only present in old mirrors such as such as this: https://ia801003.us.archive.org/24/items/archlinux_pkg_xorg-twm/
IMO: I think we could release it as it is, and I could fix this in the next iteration where I want to work on the downgrading of packages that have hard dependencies.
I won't block release for this. I actually forget, are we waiting on anything or should I pull that trigger?
The architecture option is actually super duper old, from a time when x86_64 vs i686 actually mattered and you had to look for correct packages. If there are only x86_64 or any packages available presently, I think we should remove this option and any logic related to it. We should just include all packages in the output all the time, since they're all valid packages for your system.

We are done, so we can release anytime.

Ah I see. Yes true so now the --arch option is redundant. I will change this issue to removing the --arch option for the next iteration after we release this one.
Awesome. v6.3.0 just released, 🎉
