Jeremy,
I've been running x86_64 exclusively for a while now. I find the only
thing I need to build from source is the kdemultimedia package,
everything else _I_ need is available by Matthias at
http://www.freshrpms.net - scripts could be written to automatically
generate x86_64 pacakges from source rpms but I wouldn't want to write
the dependency handling stuff. Example, use the atd to download a bunch
of packages via ftp. When done cd into the directory and do a
for x in *.src.rpm
do
rpmbuild --rebuild $x
done
Regards,
Nick
