Oh, brother...
So, you are insisting that Koji just doesn't work without any assistance? And that
it's impossible to build a separate i686 repository without affecting all others? And
that you can't exclude that architecture for a specific package? If that's the
case then it's very different from what I already knew.
I didn't answered your other question because I've answered the same question
several times already. Yes, I have a use cases where I'll get a severe performance hit
if I was not careful. And this is related to available memory and swapping. And I
can't afford losing yet another hundred megabytes for no particular reason. And I
don't think that constantly upgrading my computer is the answer. I remember times when
it was possible to install Red Hat Linux on a computer with 32 MB of RAM. Going in that
direction I should do nothing but upgrade every now and then even though I don't want
my computer to affect my activities that hard. And some people thought that Windows 95 was
a memory hog!
Honestly, I'm tired. And I don't think that arguing further will be of any help.
I'm convinced that I really have no other choice but just use some Linux distribution
that doesn't requires me to spend so much time explaining to everyone why I need
things in my life to be the way I need it.
And it reminds me about some guy who maintains some quite popular software. He used some
old SUSE until he was forced to upgrade. After struggling with consequences he just bought
Apple computer with Mac OS. He explained that he is just too old to waste so much time on
unimportant things. I don't remember his name.
