At the risk of sounding like an newbie, is is possible to build the RPMS for all architectures on the same box at the same time? I would really like to automate this, so that I can keep track of the RPMS's and build them into my own future repo. (That's another project, I'm sure I'll come to the list for that one!)
*IF* your box is an x86_64 box, you can do it. This is usually done with "mock", by using chroot cages with specific layouts and automatic deployment of relevant libraries.
I have an x86_64 box running Xen, so a paravirtualised guest has just been ordered for building a Mock Environment. I'm going to have to run to Google to learn more in the short space of time I have open to me, you guys seems to be nudging me in the right direction.
Thank you
That is going nto be unnecessarily slow. If you can run mock on the Xen server itself, you'll get a noticeable speed-up, especially with large packages like the kernel and Xorg and gimp and Samba.
