[LATE POST-ANNOUNCE] ATrpms for FC2/x86_64

[Axel Thimm]

Hi,

this is not anymore hot-off-the-press, but still kind of a well kept
secret:

Courtesy of Heiko Appel, who made a Dual-Opteron box available for
ATrpms, almost all ATrpms packages could be rebuilt for x86_64 by the
end of June.

The few packages refusing to build natively on x86_64 are such
requiring mmx (jpeg-mmx) or i386 assembly (clisp). Also check the note
on apt below.

The packages are not in a separate distribution, for manual browsing
they are side by side next to i386 packages:

	 http://ATrpms.net/dist/fc2/

apt and yum repositories are similar to the i386 hierarchy:

# ATrpms for Fedora Core 2
# Possible sections: at-stable, at-good, at-testing, at-bleeding
rpm             http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de fedora/2/en/x86_64 at-stable
#rpm-src        http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de fedora/2/en/x86_64 at-stable

[at-stable]
name=ATrpms for Fedora Core $releasever stable
baseurl=http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-stable

Note on apt: There are currently unresolved issues with biarch
setups. If you don't need the grub rpm, you can remove all i386 rpms
and apt will work. I tried an alternative approach using
AllowDuplicates entries, but this did not work (AllowDuplicates on
glibc makes the i386 provides invisible for apt and it detects broken
dependencies in the grub rpm).

Until apt goes biarch, use yum or up2date! :)

Feedback on the ATrpms lists (http://lists.atrpms.net/), or the common
bug tracker (http://bugzilla.atrpms.net/), as well as PM is welcome :)

Enjoy! :)
