 If you use devtools anyway (which you definitely should when building a
 packages for more than one computer), simply run 'sudo
 extra-x86_64-build  sudo extra-i686-build' in the PKGBUILD directory.
 There's not much more to do.
 
 
Thanks Thomas. So if I understand you, I can simple create another archroot, and
then, create a [local] repo as usual, then call sudo extra-i686-build to create
the i686 package, install it in the rw layer of the chroot, copy the package to
$CHROOT/root/repo, run repo-add to update the index, and then build the next
file in the build order with extra-i686-build and repeat?

I thought the extra-i686-build tools were from smaller packages. TDE has over
100 packages where 1 provides dependencies for 2, that provides them for 3, and
so on... The article says to disable multilibs, to change the 'arch' in
makepkg.conf and mirrorlist, etc. (I presume so that when the 1st file is built
the needed i686 libs are pulled in as dependencies, and so on.

I'll give it a go. I'd much rather a 3 hour build than and 8-10 hour build.

Thanks!

Re: [arch-general] Is there a burning tool able to replace K3b?

 Hi,
 
 a short question but a long story, perhaps somebody could give some
 hints.
 
 To stop a green drive spinning up and down again and again I removed
 gvfs from my machine, but each time I used K3b seemingly a KDE thingy
 makes my drive spin up and down again and again until I reboot.
 
 Is anybody aware if developers of desktop environments care about things
 like green drives, optional vs hard dependencies?
 


Ralf,

  You may want to give k3b on TDE a try. I just finished building the package
tonight. See:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trinity#Complete_packages_.28current.29 for
the list of current packages for TDE. It provides k3b (tQt3 version), along with
k9copy. k3b behaves the same way it did in KDE3 in Trinity. Testing is underway,
the final R14 release of Trinity (without hal) should be complete in the next 10
days or so. I have all packages building. So I have x86_64 binaries available
for testing. I just need server space to host them...
