Hey,
When ever I download bug fixes and updates from red hat I always download the src.rpm
so I an compile it with --rebuild--target=i686. A minute ago I did this to pam, but it
needed glib-devel, so I went and fetched that, compiled it and installed. Which got me
to thinking about installing the glib-1.*i686.rpm I had just made. I've tried using
rpm -Uhv to install RPMs with a higher arch before but rpm freaks out, it looks like
the only thing that can be done is to rpm -e the i386 package and then rpm -i the i686
package. I'd be curious to do this with things like glib and glibc, but I cannot risk
harming the system. For instance, would it lock up in the 2 seconds between removing
glibc i386 and installing glibc i686?
Perhaps it's not even worth thinking aoubt, I honestly don't know. But then, those
PIII's cost so much more them 396s that I'm /sure/ those optimizations must be worth
something ;-).
What do y'all think?
