Unfortunately at this time we don't support x86_64. I don't have enough
infrastructure for a 64bit build system to produce the 64bit packages.
Also, I'm not confident that there are enough x86_64 users willing to
test and QA x86_64 packages. That said, the SRPMS can be rebuilt if
you're inclined to do so.

Yep, next transition will be much better planned. I swear.
