[Fedora-livecd-list] Build LiveCD for another architecture

[Gary Thomas]

I'm trying to see if I can get the LiveCD tools to work
in a pseudo-cross environment (using qemu as a helper).
I have a lot of it working, down to the point where it's
ready to install the actual packages.  Then I get this
error:
   Error creating Live CD :
     Unable to install:
       [('package filesystem-2.4.11-1.fc8.ppc is intended for a ppc architecture'

I can't seem to figure out where this message comes from, nor
how it is coming to this conclusion.

n.b. I am running this on an x86, trying to force it to build
for ppc.  I've hacked things such that os.uname() always returns
'ppc' for the machine name which is how I got this far.
