I have sometimes wondered if putting i686 packages in x86_64 repos was a bad idea, and instead leaving a i686 repo (with a smaller and smaller package set) as a standalone repo that individuals could add if they needed multilib. I don't recall the entire reasoning the various decisions, and at this point, probably water under the bridge, unless it is time to build a dam and divert the packages to a different repo (call it multilib, if you don't want to imply i686 is supported?). In any case, allowing packagers to be aggressive in adding ExcludeArch could be a first step even if it does not help infrastructure or QA immediately (fixing everything everywhere all at once is probably not achievable). -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
