Click packages for more than one architecture

 

Hello everybody,

Dimitri just announced his great work surrounding cross-compiling apps
with the cmake [1]. With that out of the way and chroot management
support having landed in click [2], we're a lot closer to offering "fat
packages" to our app development community.

Zoltán is currently working on a prototype, which will

 1) Use cmake in our default templates
 2) Wrap around "click chroot" in the SDK

As mentioned in the previous discussion [3] I believe there are still
some open questions [3] regarding where to store binaries for different
architectures.

Were there some discussion or does anyone have thoughts about:

 - Where we expect binaries or modules (for both QML and HTML5 apps)
   to live, for a case of multiple architectures in one click?
 - How apparmor (and friends) will deal with this?
 - Which impact it's going to have on Unity and upstart-app-launch?
 - Which changes will have to be made for our development tools?
 - Which review tests we want to implement?
 - <Your other open questions here.>

Thanks a lot in advance.

Have a great day,
 Daniel
