Again this requires modifications to the package manager to affect dependency resolution. ProteanOS's design is similar, but implemented in a way such that *dependent* binary packages are responsible for declaring the architectures of *their dependencies* (which can -be done automatically at build time). +be done automatically at build time, so package maintainers can focus on +declaring how their packages satisfy dependencies, as in Debian and Ubuntu). One way to declare dependency semantics is by introducing a new single-purpose control field like Debian's and Ubuntu's `Multi-Arch`. However, ProteanOS will |
