Package: crafty Version: 19.15-1 Severity: important
Crafty is only available as i386 binary in Debian. Especially for a chess engine this is bad as 64 bit platforms (like amd64, ia64 and sparc for example) have great speed (and thus strength-) benefits: modern/most chess engines (crafty definately) use 'bitboards' in their calculations which are 64 bit in size, as you can imagine this fits nicely in a register of a 64bit platform. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages crafty depends on: ii libc6 2.5-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.2-6 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.6-15 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages crafty recommends: pn crafty-books-medtosmall | cra <none> (no description available) ii xboard 4.2.7-7 An X Window System Chess Board -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
