Description Dennis Schridde 2010-12-04 09:36:33 UTC

I would like to have a function to figure out whether the target architecture is 32 or 64bit. The following would probably work for most cases:
---
tc-is_64bit() {
    [[ "${ARCH%64}" != "${ARCH}" ]]
}
---

Reproducible: Always

yeah, no.  fix your package to use appropriate size/whatever checks.  changing behavior based on "64 bitness" is almost always wrong.
