I understand that, I think, but, if you start out saying you're x86_64, why or how does it ever come to selecting the i?86 version of a package over the x86_64 version of a package? I'm just assuming YUM takes x86_64 over i?86 any time (best match arch or something), unless specifically told otherwise? > As Seth said, you can have one giant directory of packages and just > different repodata pointing to subsets. Yeah, I know. Sounds perfectly feasible.
