4.1.1. What are architecture names?
Architecture names are strings like "x86_64" or "i686" which define the system-architecture of the current computer.
Compiled programs can only run on the architecture they are built for. Therefore Listaller packages also need to be arch-specific. Unfortunately, there are quite a few architecture names around, e.g. for 64bit-PCs the vendor-neutral name "x86_64" or "amd64". For historical and compatibility reasons, Listaller uses the naming conventions described below.
