Only on koji local repo ( https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/f35-build/latest/i386/pkglist ) we have for example tar-1.34-2.fc35.i686.rpm To build, with mock, one i686 package like Steam, I think we should just use Fedora x86_64 repos ( repos that are mirrored) , I mean repos of arch x86_64 should have all i686 packages that allow start a buidlroot and build one i686 package . But for packages that aren't shipped , I agree , we already got the concept of package multilib and only multilib packages should build for i686 , I guess > > > -- > Matthew Miller > <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Fedora Project Leader > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure -- Sérgio M.
