- Putting the 'architecture' last makes it easier to build the tar
None of Wine Mono's build artifacts include an architecture in the filename. Bin is not an architecture.
I know. That's why I put architecture in quotes in the second sentence above. I'm looking at this entirely from the filename structure point of view and how hard it is to build the URL of what I need to download.
Technically, the msi is x86. If/when we have arm support, we'll need a separate msi, and we may want a separate tarball as well.
Would it be too confusing to list x86 as an architecture when it includes x86_64 files too?
I would consider it acceptable in that if we have one file with 'arm' (or some equivalent) somewhere in it, then it makes sense to label the other with something indicating it's for the 8086 descendants.
