Hello,
the Steam review has been taken, however the reviewer wonders if the
infrastructure can cope with i686 binary packages being pushed to the
x86_64 repository. I thought it was possible, but this is my first
review in RPMFusion so I don't know details of the infrastructure.
When installing in a x86_64 system, the package pulls in the correct
32 bit dependencies. Currently I'm using Steam with 65 games on a 64
bit Fedora 19 host.
The same package is the currently suggested one [1] from Valve for
running Steam on both i386 and x86_64 hosts. The package was created
by me and adjusted based on feedback from the Steam community forum
with users providing additional information and testing pulling from
my personal repository page [2]. In fact, 99% of the users run a 64
bit distribution.
It would be a shame not to see this appear in RPMFusion just for a
limit of the infrastructure.
Can the i686 be pushed also to the x86_64 repository once reviewed?
Thanks & regards,
I wonder if the simple answer is just "No, you can't" . OTOH,
isn't it
perfectly viable to install a 32-bit package on a x86_64 host using e.
g., yum install steam.i386? If that is seen as a little awkward, one
could probably create subpackages with correct architecture which pulls
in steam.i386 (?)
