[ATrpms-devel] How to handle multilib

Hi All,

I use atrpms and like it.  My machine is x86_64 and I make fair use of
multilib so that I can mix and match x86_64 and i386 packages.

The problem I have is atrpms-package-config and medley-package-config
are arch specific and use the same file names for each package.  So I
end up manually editting the channels creating a *-i386 channel file for
each one.  My base is x86_64.

Is there a way to have separate file names for i386 & x86_64?  Or can we
have i386 channels included in the x86_64 package and disabled on
install so that we crazy types can enable?

Many thanks for the labour and thought behind atrpms.

Preet
