Why no i586/i686 support?

nges, once I'm confident about them. But is that the kind of change RedHat even wants? They're not supporting it now; do they have a good reason that hasn't occurred to me? Any light on this subject would be most appreciated. :-) Steven Boswell [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubsc

the two patches necessary to get rpm to let you build i586/i686. rpm.spec.patch is to be applied to rpm.spec, and rpm-3.0.4-i686.patch should go into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES . Let me know if this is not an appropriate place to post small patches like this, and I'll stop :-) Steven Boswell [EMAIL

Re: Why no i586/i686 support?

. I agree. So far, I've built rpm, pgcc, glibc, XFree, perl, gzip, bzip2, and a few other less important ones. Once I feel confident that nothing is going to blow up, I'll start benchmarking them against each other.

.i[456]86.rpm packages. Those would install to /i[456]86, and people could change the version of the OS they're using (by default i386) with a few mount commands.
