Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by DavidWoodhouse: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/ArchSpecific The comment on the change is: Move RPM biarch stuff into higher-level arch-specific notes section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ = Architecture Specific Notes = This section provides notes that are specific to the supported hardware architectures of Fedora Core. + + == RPM Multiarch Support on 64-bit platforms (x86_64, ppc64) == + + '''RPM''' supports parallel installation of multiple architectures of the same package. A default package listing such as {{{rpm -qa}}} might appear to include duplicate packages, since the architecture is not displayed. Instead, use the {{{repoquery}}} command, part of the `yum-utils` package in Fedora Extras, which displays architecture by default. To install `yum-utils`, run the following command: + + {{{ su -c 'yum install yum-utils' + }}} + + To list all packages with their architecture using {{{rpm}}}, run the following command: + + {{{ rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" + }}} + + You can add this to `/etc/rpm/macros` (for a system wide setting) or `~/.rpmmacros` (for a per-user setting). It changes the default query to list the architecture: + + {{{ %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch} + }}} [[Include(/PPC)]]
