Name        : rpm
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 4.9.1.3
Release     : 6.fc17
URL         : http://www.rpm.org/
Summary     : The RPM package management system
Description :
The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven
package management system capable of installing, uninstalling,
verifying, querying, and updating software packages. Each software
package consists of an archive of files along with information about
the package like its version, a description, etc.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

On platforms such as x86 and arm, there are macros which expand to all possible subarchs. For example:

$ rpm --eval '%{ix86}'
i386 i486 i586 i686 pentium3 pentium4 athlon geode

$ rpm --eval '%{arm}'
armv3l armv4b armv4l armv4tl armv5tel armv5tejl armv6l armv7l

A new ppc64 subarchitecture, called 'ppc64p7', is being introduced and it's very likely that in the future there will be additional ppc64 subarchitectures.

To make adding new subarchs for ppc64 easier in the future, we'd like to have a power arch macro which expands to all possible subarchs.

The proposed new macro is "power64" and will be added to git master in rpm.
