    Ah, thank you.

    NOTE for whoever is maintaining the very nice db.debian.org/machines.cgi page:

    The way I use this page is to search the Architecture column for the architecture I want. It would help me (and, I expect, others) if there were a few sentences preamble alerting one to the presence of dual-chroot machines.
    I guess that one should really be searching in the Description field rather than Architecture.

    On the topic of eller architecture: when I put mips64el in the architecture search field, eller does not appear. I am puzzled by this because "uname -a" on eller apparently is a 64-bit machine so it can't be "mipsel", can it?

    What does "Architecture" represent if not the base machine architecture?

    Regards,
    -Steve

    I guess that one should really be searching in the Description field
    rather than Architecture.

    Probably there needs to be a better way to define/export data about
    available chroots than a free-form Description field, until then...

    I think DSA would accept patches to the JavaScript doing the searching
    so that it searches Description too when Architecture is selected.

    Personally I use my browser search, which finds mips64el.

    What does "Architecture" represent if not the base machine
    architecture?

    I guess it is whatever DSA added to the Architecture field in LDAP,
    maybe copied from the architecture of the install on the machine:

    $ ldapsearch -LLL -x -H ldaps://db.debian.org -b ou=hosts,dc=debian,dc=org hostname=eller.debian.org architecture description
    dn: host=eller,ou=hosts,dc=debian,dc=org
    architecture: mipsel
    description: mipsel/mips64el porterbox

    pabs@eller:~$ dpkg --print-architecture
    mipsel

    --
    bye,
    pabs
