Re: Multilib/multiarch debuginfo
Debuginfo is not made multilib. That pathway leads to insanity.
Sure. What I was looking for was a way to tell yum to use a different
$basearch in repo lookup for one command. That way may also lead to
insanity, I'm no authority on such things. Another adequate option would
be some specialized yum-utils tool that can be told to go look at an
other-arch repo. e.g. debuginfo-install --arch=i386 or something.
For some packages (kernel, bootloaders) even installing a debuginfo rpm
from a wholly other arch (--ignorearch) is actually useful and sensical.
Even just a "show me the rpm urls" and not trying to do any actual yumish
install operation would probably be useful to developers. Maybe just a
repoquery option for other-arch repo lookups.
Thanks,
