bridge-utils

Category: local-install (rebuilt only so archlinuxaba/the cluster gets it too; not maintained/adapted/owned by us — see arch/scripts/install_only_packages).

Utilities for configuring the Linux ethernet bridge (brctl).

Build notes (2026-08-17)

• Upstream AUR PKGBUILD declares arch=('x86_64') only. The pre-existing /data/INSTALL/bridge-utils checkout on this machine had a local edit expanding arch=() to ('x86_64' 'pentium4' 'i686' 'i486'), but per the standard local-install workflow (fresh git clone from AUR each release) that edit does not survive and was dropped. Built/published for x86_64 only, matching upstream. If 32-bit builds are wanted long-term (plausible fit — small C network utility, no toolchain-prebuilt-binary issues like Flutter/Rust), the arch=() expansion needs to be re-applied by hand after every fresh clone (not automated).
• Plain autotools build (aclocal && autoconf && ./configure && make), no issues. Also produces a bridge-utils-debug package, published alongside the main package as usual.
