Hi All, I have been creating some packages with custom arch types to distinguish their build optimizations creating a packages with the following theme: 1. mypackage-version.fc12.core2.rpm # a package built for FC12 with core2 optimizations. These foreign arch types are easily configured on a new system by updating /etc/rpmrc: arch_compat: x86_64: amd64 athlon noarch core2 ...and also customizing /usr/lib/rpm/platforms/<my platform name> for build options. This all works great until I try to use yum: yum localinstall Package-1.2.1-1.opt.fc13.core2.rpm Loaded plugins: presto, priorities, refresh-packagekit Setting up Local Package Process Examining Package-1.2.1-1.opt.fc13.core2.rpm: Package-1.2.1-1.opt.fc13.core2 Cannot add package Package-1.2.1-1.opt.fc13.core2.rpm to transaction. Not a compatible architecture: core2 Nothing to do So my quick questions: I can get this to work by hacking rpmUtils/arch.py and adding: "x86_64": "core2", # arches dict() in arch.py but this does not seem like the right way :-) Can anybody comment on the procedure to get foreign "new" architectures fully recognized by yum? Im sure im just missing something simple. Thank You! Matt _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
