Summary	0003908: zandronumbinaries.cpp does not make sure the downloaded Zandronum testing binaries are supported by the CPU architecture

Revision	2021-09-24 17:29 by WubTheCaptain
Description	A theoretical scenario: An user is running on GNU/Linux using an ARM processor (32-bit or 64-bit). They try to download Zandronum testing binaries. Zandronum.com does not have desired non-x86/non-x86_64 binaries for Zandronum (e.g. ARM). Instead of Doomseeker refusing to download anything or theoretically attempt to download a file appropriate for the architecture build (such as ARM), Doomseeker will always download the x86 (32-bit) binaries. On Windows (if ever on non-x86), they would always get 32-bit x86 Windows binaries for Zandronum. The issue is the program didn't check the build or CPU architecture.
