[Fusioninventory-devel] Software name and arch

[Remi Collet]

In previous version of the agent, (and in OCS agent)

Software name was  "name.arch"

Starting with version 2.2.0, it's only "name"

I consider this as a regression will make information really difficult
to manage in GLPI in heterogeneous envionment (mixed version / mixed
agent / multi-lib computer)

Currently, with older agent (or ocs agent), I see in my software list
	freetype.i686		2.4.6-4.fc16
	freetype.x86_64		2.4.6-4.fc16
With agent 2.2.0
	freetype		2.4.6-4.fc16

OK : using arch in the name is a poor workaround


A better solution will be
- add arch information in the XML
- add arch information in GLPI DB scheme

Another 2 steps solution could be
- add arch information in the XML
- generate "name.arch" in the server side (glpi plugin)


But until this, please consider reverting to the previous behavior.
