And this plugin is useful beyond this situation. I think the plan would look something like: - drop this plugin into the yum pkg, enabled by default, for fc6 - drop this plugin intpo the yum pkg, enabled by default, for rawhide/f7 - mark that hal.i386 should be removed from x86_64 boxes if found (ditto hal.ppc64 on ppc64 boxes) - mark out any others we want to nuke as it goes. that's it. and speaking of that - I realized the file format needs to be slightly more complex in order for it to be the same file used across archs. It should probably look like: pkgname/glob: arch-it-is-on or: <removespec pkgmatch="some-pkg-v-r.arch" on_arch="i386"> that way we can make sure that on i386 boxes we don't remove hal.i386. b/c there it is actually desired. :) Thoughts? -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
