Question about BuildArch and rpmrc on 64-bit

[travisN000]

I think what we need is just one set of pkgutils that would work for either the 32 and 64.

cat /etc/pclinuxos-release and determine the platform. copy the necessary files and configs to the proper folders ... you know what? I'm really just blabbing. 

Can someone on a 64 bit install post the output of the cat command above, as well as the output of rpm -E %mandriva_release

Thanks!

Here you are:

Code: [Select]

[archie@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/pclinuxos-release
PCLinuxOS release 2011 (PCLinuxOS) for x86_64
[archie@localhost ~]$ rpm -E %mandriva_release
2011

..thanks!

..looks like I will also need a copy of the sources.list file from a 64 bit install.

Ammm... I've already modified my local install and I cannot remember to what extent (additions and deletions) I had changed it.  I will launch the LiveCD and take the sources.lst from there, and get back to you.

oh yes, Travis, if you can can that would be great!
another way to get the sysarch could be:

Code: [Select]

sysarch=`getconf LONG_BIT` and the 64-bit repos are the same as the ones for 32-bit, just replace the sections main updates nonfree kde4 games with x86_64
best,
-p.

edit: whoops, forgot to say, and the 64-bit repos have 2011 instead of 2010 in the URL...

Here you go Travis:

Pristine pick and compressed ... the whole /etc/apt folder.

Here is an updated mkrepo script that should work for both 32 and 64 bit installs..  please test and report!

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2425248/mkrepo

..after install, run it as both user and root, checking the effects on ~/.rpmrc,  ~/.rpmmacros, and /etc/apt/sources.list after each run (it needs to be tested as both, as it should prompt to select a regular user if it is run as root)

Here is an updated /usr/bin/mkrepo script that should work for both 32 and 64 bit installs..  please test and report!

No Dropbox, please.

I am unable to download from Dropbox because of my geographical location. Do you have another link? TIA

just tested, as user and root, on 32 and 64, and it works very well.
Great job Travis!

I've emailed the updated mkrepo script to Archie.

Thanks, Neal. I'm too embarrassed to ask Travis for another link.
