I am a Fedora Core 5 PPC64 user and am curious about the 'yum --enablerepo' command. If I wanted to run 'yum --enablerepo=atrpms install w32codec' would yum be able to sort out whether there was a PPC or PPC64 version of "w32codec" or not? Do all repositories also have PPC and PPC64 versions or are there only certain repositories that contain PPC and PPC64 versions, like FreshRPMS?


AFAIK, the "w32codec" package contains DLLs taken from Windows, which are executable i386 files. They're only going to be available for i386 platforms.

DLLs from Windows in Linux? I didn't realize that DLLs from Windows are used in Linux. I mean, I can understand open and closed source software running on Linux, but Windows DLLs would just open Linux to Win viruses, wouldn't it? Weird.

Cheers,
