Hi everybody I don't find anything in updated or cr-repo for i686 arch. It seems that most of these packages are already available in the x86_64 . So what's up ? thanks

Hi John,
So, one thing to keep in mind is that CentOS 7 i 686 is AltArch, so while built in parallel of the x86_64 version (for multilib reasons), it will not get the same focus as x86_64 (primary arch). It's true that maybe CR could have been populated for c7 i686 at the same time .. OTOH, let's consider that we're now so close to the official announcement that it doesn't make sense to populate a CR repo now (as it would eat the bandwidth used to seed the official release ;-) )
Cheers,

AltArch repos do not get the same attention as primary repos (that is one reason they are altarch) .. but expect to i686 AltArch released by Wednesday of this week.
Hi guys and thanks So, couldn't the i686 be moved to primary repos instead of altarch?
Would be nice, isn't it ? :) De : Johnny Hughes johnny@centos.org À : centos-devel@centos.org Envoyé le : Lundi 14 décembre 2015 16h17 Objet : Re: [CentOS-devel] Updates i686 of Centos 7
