Clearly wrong. Only the noarch pkgs went on the ppc64 repos.
The first is afaik intended, as ppc64 just like x86_64 is
biarch/multilib arch; PPCs system will just ignore the ppc64 packages.
It's the same in Fedora; see
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/9/ppc/
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/...
The latter IMHO is not intended, but likely the way the push scripts
from Extras/EPEL work/are designed. Fedora at least ships the ppc64 rpms
in a dedicated repo as well:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/9/ppc64/
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/...
dwmw2, mschwendt?
It's old "basearch" code that is broken. :(
"cvs up Push.py", please.
ppc64 was not supported in Fedora Extras and isn't used in EPEL either.
