Dear listmembers, when building system components with additional 32bit compatibility (think of glibc ...) the avaiability of i586 rpms is mandatory. However, SUSE does not provide an even minimum set of i586 rpms that could be used to create w32 rpms by build <packagename>.src.rpm linux32 build <packagename>.src.rpm and finally /usr/lib/build/mkbaselibs -c /usr/lib/build/baselibs_global.conf -c baselibs.conf /home/${USER}/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586/<packagename>*.rpm In the very moment say leap runs out of service (what can definitively be anticipated ...) one cannot even help oneself, what I'd consider very bad. Guess you have a server up and running - no way to upgrade packages as I currently see. Moreover, the files must all exist because openSUSE provides the corresponding packages - so, without a wich nobody could build them given they would not exist. The additional effort would be to make them available for the public. Therefore I want to ask SUSE to provide a repository not containing the full featured set of packages but that provides all packages neccessary for the chroot build environment to help oneself. I had opened a bug in this regard (968112), because it was not clear to me where to ask, Andreas Stieger suggested to post this request here. Thank you for looking into this.
