Why are there 32bit and 64bit DEBs, but only a 32bit RPM?
Thanks,

64-bit RPMs?

Re: 64-bit RPMs?
Because the DEBs are more picky than the RPMs.
Both contain 32bit binaries.

Re: 64-bit RPMs?
Got it... the "64bit" DEBs contain 32bit binaries packaged for a 64bit Ubuntu installation,
but there are no 64bit builds available for any distro. Urgh.
But why no real 64bit builds? I'd imagine that there would be a performance benefit, no?
And performance is one of Bibble/AfterShot's key selling points, no?

Re: 64-bit RPMs?
The reason there are no true 64-bit builds is that AS uses some third party libraries that aren't available as 64-bit.
