So far I stay close to Tumbleweed/Factory in that I only build i586 libs where needed to run 32-bit applications such as Steam. https://download.opensuse.org/slowroll/repo/oss/x86_64/ lists 1239 32bit packages. With the current approach, I base Slowroll on a Tumbleweed snapshot, so it is hard to add architectures there. That would need full rebuilds from sources (which I have considered as an option but would certainly cause new issues). Ciao Bernhard M.

Thanks for the confirmation. I understand extra arches mean more precious resources are required. :p -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata
