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! :) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
