The PPC32 architecture isn't as crap as i386 -- it actually has a sane number of registers. Therefore you don't really gain much by using 64-bit userspace on a PPC64 machine; on PPC64 we still use mostly PPC32 userspace. So the PPC distro contains PPC64 as a secondary architecture in the same way that the x86_64 distro contains i386 packages. And you _can_ do the buildinstall of that (including ppc64 packages) on a ppc32 host. There _is_ a 'pure ppc64' distro in rawhide, but we don't ship that -- just as we don't ship ia64, s390, etc. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
