With the help of Tim and James A. I have a patch which lets the user select what will happen when they are on a multilib arch and they do an: install foo or install foo* as to which archs it will install by default.
the config parameter is multilib_policy and it's options are best and all. all == the behavior yum has always had - which is to install all archs it can (ie: i386 and x86_64) best == install only the 'best' arch for that architecture. So on x86_64 it is x86_64, on ppc64 it should be ppc, on sparc64 it is is sparcv9, etc The default is 'all' This patch also handles removing ia64 as multilib arch b/c it no longer is one. It also deals with a small problem with the earlier rpmsack patch from Florian. I feel like we probably want this, but I'm open to opinions. -sv _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
