When I asked about the apparent confusion a while back, I got the very strong indication that the parisc-linux community wanted to use 'parisc' for the arhitecture string in Debian space... so that's the direction I've been heading (mailing list, web pages, etc). If we want to change, I can get it done (no messages have passed the debian-parisc list yet despite over 50 subscribers, for example), but the sooner the better. I have no emotional loading on this one, I just want to know the answer. :-) We *must* decide this once and for all *very* soon. Pretty please. Bdale
