What's the difference between the Linux-64bit.tar.gz and linux-amd64.tar.gz release assets?

Hi Folks,

Super dumb question here

I’m rebuilding my computer (linux) and I see that the repos are rather behind (I know you’re shocked). So I figured I’d just install the prebuilt binary. And I see over on the github page two (2) differrent linux binaries:

  1. hugo_extended_0.151.0_Linux-64bit.tar.gz
  2. hugo_extended_0.151.0_linux-amd64.tar.gz

I can figure out the deb file :wink: which takes care of my laptop.

But what I can’t figure out is what’s the difference between those 2 tarfiles.

Can you help me out? Thanks

and beside that you may need to install Go: Use Hugo Modules

I saw that irkode (thanks btw). If you’ll notice BOTH of those tar files are for the extended version.

What’s more the sha256 hash values are the same for both the tarfile and for the actual hugo program inside the archive.

f2fe3b4ef90bf053d93c713eca1d4d5a467d8d2d5da858a448d55eb71ad44ddf  hugo_extended_0.151.0_linux-amd64.tar.gz

41edc1bcc9021d9ed86e96a16ea03921f78ee1e57df59e4653fb2047369caa45  hugotux64

So either I’m missing something or it got built twice.

As for Go, the version in my repos looks pretty good. Though I may just pull down the latest to keep everything in sync.

uhg. sorry… wrong track.

one is for AMD the other for intel processors

whoha not my best day…

:disappointed_face: I apologize for any confusion I caused…

Really? Different Archs? Sweet!

Laptop gets one, desktop gets the other.. :grin:

Still, I would have thought the sha256 would have been different between the 2

#1 on your list is an alias for #2, provided for backwards compatibility.

The architecture is named amd64 because it was developed by AMD. It’s also known as x86-64 and is not vendor dependent.

refreshed my knowledge…seems my brain felt back to the ancient times
