Re: Added support for Debian squeeze armel architecture

Hi ratel,

i have some questions before merging your patch:

- Can i get the same machine type with command 'uname -m' on all Debian ARM machines?
- Do you have ARM machine running as mail server?

Re: Added support for Debian squeeze armel architecture

Hi,

This patch just add ARM to the arch test in iRedMail script.
I've tried to install iRedMail on ARM machine powered by a debian wheezy and it seems to work nice.
However i've only test it for 2 hours I do not have the experience necessary to affirm it working perfectly in time.

QNAP 219P+
Debian wheezy
Linux xxx 3.2.0-4-kirkwood #1 Debian 3.2.46-1 armv5tel GNU/Linux

Why do you have to lock iRedMail on specifics arch ?

By the way, thank you very much for iRedMail.

Fabien

*) There maybe some differences between different arches.
*) We don't have hardware for testing, and we didn't test it before, so we cannot say it works on that arch.
