Doing the selection based on provides ended up doubling the number of i386 packages over what normally is provided. Rawhide had 2903 i386 packages and by checking missing provides I ended up using 5835 packages. Doing a repoclosure looked pretty good. Most of the errors were real missing stuff and x86_64 and i386 errors pretty much lined up. The one thing that did seem to be missing is zlib-devel. libgcj-devel-4.3.2-4.i386 requires /usr/lib/libz.so, but zlib-devel doesn't provide that explicitly. I am not sure if that is a packaging error or if things are really supposed to go looking for files in a package and not just at what is explicitly provided. For now I'll just pull in the extra packages and see if I run accross any problems. Minimizing the repo isn't a big concern for me. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
