I'm having a problem when building packages which have a dependency sitting in the plague 'repo_dir'. Since plague puts all arches of a package in the same sub directory under 'repo_dir', if a package has both i386 and x86_64 binaries, later builds which pull in those packages as a dependency will install the x86_64 binary rather than the i386 one. Yes, I have brought this problem on myself - I want to have stuff in repo_dir be usable for builds even before those packages are pushed to the main repository. In order to do this, I have to point mock to the same repodir for both i386 and x86_64.

So, I have a couple of questions: is there a way to have plague sort packages in the repo_dir differently than it does by default? How does Extras avoid this problem?

Here's an example of the directory structure used:

---- Snip from /etc/mock/fedora-3-i386-core.cfg ---
[updates-plague]
name=updates-plague
baseurl=file:///build/plague/repodir/fedora-3-core/
---- End Snip ----

$ pwd
/build/plague/repodir/fedora-3-core
$ ls
mozilla   repodata
$ ls mozilla/1.7.13-1.3.1.legacy/
i386  SRPM  x86_64

Thanks,
Jeff
