That is where I would expect sse2 information; either inline or a pointer to something more comprehensive. Not much is using sse2 right now. I would expect that the main ogre package could make use of this, but currently doesn't. I am having trouble finding good documentation on what the runtime linker does. The link below is the best description I have found so far, and answers a question I had about whether stuff needs to be in /usr/lib/sse2/OGRE or /usr/lib/OGRE/sse2 (the former). (http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0704.3/0002.html I think I know enough to attempt a -sse2 subpackage for x86 arch. The path to proven packager is paved with much learning. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
