If you read the entire thread, people have offered to actually do the work. Daniel did everything that would have been required almost a year back, but we lost two things at the time (a) a machine to test this on, pretty much everything we found worked with the i686 built distro and (b) a userbase that wanted i586. At the time there was one person who was looking to deploy a few thousand ltsp clients based around i586 cpu's. He decided it was easier for him to just move to i686 clients.
I do what very little I am able to do, for and in the spirit of the CentOS Community. Until such time as it is made clear to me that I am not wanted, I will continue in that fashion. I've lived for over half a century and have a broad back.
And I am sure that your efforts are appreciated.
Perhaps Karanbir is just having a bad day and is feeling particularly "spiky".
I am having a fine day, thanks. The only thing I took issue against was your wide sweeping statement that we dont want or do anything beyond what is in upstream. Some of us work quite hard, and do a lot of things beyond what we need personally and what comes down the pipeline from upstream - so my response will stay the same to anyone who says otherwise. Irrespective of what sort of a day I am having.
