[PD] Some confusion about linux amd64-64 and linux amd64-32 in deken, and what are all the possible variations?

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

if I'm not mistaken the appending 32 or 64 is for 32 or 64 bit Pd, that is,
the application.

the first part is the cchp architecture.

I welcome and support your efforts, but I'll make the remark again that I
hope you could bring much of what what you're planning to puredata.info for
a more centralized online resource, and we can also add things to the
manual. This section already describes the binary types, we can maybe
improve it => http://msp.ucsd.edu/Pd_documentation/x4.htm#s1.2.1

cheers
