1. build the SUPER rpm for x86_64
The only difference to the normal rpm's is that ours are compiled mtune=i686. And honestly right now I am even thinking the difference is not that great to justify such a step. We probably should roll only rpm's where we actually do genuinely make a difference, the xorg rpm for instance or any other where we modify something (like prelink). I have seen most increases there without having to roll out dozens of other rpm's. And then there are already x86_64 compiled rpm's in existence .... the ones we would compile would virtually not make nay difference. We just introduce a probability of incompatibility/bugs.
2. test and install it on beta4 3. build cd image
That is really the only step really required.
4. benchmark
And that one ;) Anyhow .. what are your thoughts? Andreas
