<br><font size=2 face="Times New Roman WT">Hi, </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Times New Roman WT">I'm having a problem *not* being
able to build 'i686' packages (i.e. optional_arches=i686) anymore *after*
having upgraded our plague server/builder (Opteron x86_64) a couple of
weeks ago from plague-0.4.3 to *plague-0.5.0*. The problem happens only
with i686 (optional_arches=i686) -- not with i386 (base_arches=i386) which
continues to work flawlessly. </font>

<br><font size=2 face="Times New Roman WT">OBSERVATIONS:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Times New Roman WT">o The "last" function
executed in the 'PackageJob.py' module (before it returned to 'BuildMaster.py')
was 'arch_handling(self, ba, exclusive, exclude)'.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Times New Roman WT">o Adding the following section
to /etc/plague/server/targets/*.cfg (including server/builder restart,
request resubmit) did *not* help 'PackageJob.py' to progress any further
than the 'arch_handling(self, ba, exclusive, exclude)' function.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Times New Roman WT"> [Additional Package
Arches]</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Times New Roman WT"> kernel=i686</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Times New Roman WT">o Moving 'i686' from the 'optional_arches'
line up to the 'base_arches' line (including server/builder restart, request
resubmit) *did* in fact cause 'i686' to be recognized by 'PackageJob.py'
(but only as a "base arch" -- not as an "optional arch"
like we need it to be)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Times New Roman WT">MY QUESTIONS: </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Times New Roman WT">1. Why is the *optional_arches*
tag -- in the [Arches] section of our /etc/plague/server/*.cfg files --
*no longer* recognized *after* upgrading to plague-0.5.0? </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Times New Roman WT">2. What are some things I can
try, that might help resolve the above (i.e. getting *plague-0.5.0* to
recognize 'i686' as an *optional arch*?)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Times New Roman WT">Any help will be much appreciated!
.. I have run out of ideas, and things to try... ;-( </font>
