[opensuse-buildservice] [Patch] support setting of different _target_arch - openSUSE Build Service

30 Apr 2009

Hi !
In preparation to my GSoC project (openSUSE@arm) I'd like to propose this patch of Build.pm for inclusion into the Build Service code.
===================================================================

Reasoning:
Some lines above in Build.pm %_target_arch gets set to the scheduler arch (scheduler name).
In ARM world this is a bit more complicated - e.g. there's armv5tel, armv5tejl, armv5tevl .
This is no problem in debian world IIRC as we see so far in Mer. 
Unfortunately  rpmbuild needs to know the right value (armv5tel instead of armv5el).
It would be bad to use now different schedulers only for tel/tejl/tevl and so on.
So with my patch we can use still the armv5el scheduler and differ through 
"changetargetarch:" the _target_cpu where needed.
Best,
Jan-Simon
