Excluding *.i?86 on x86_64 images

[Jeroen van Meeuwen]

Hi,

As you can see on http://www.kanarip.com/revisor/, a lot of x86_64 spins 
fail composing against rawhide because of file-level conflicts between a 
.i?86 and a .x86_64 package.

For the Fedora 9 & 10 respins (also on that page), I resolved this by 
excluding all .i?86 packages from the YUM repositories (through 
Revisor's YUM configuration file used for each spin respectively). As a 
side-effect of removing *.i?86, the size of the spins also decreased a 
little.

If I do the same for rawhide spins, the compose process I use for these 
daily spins stops reflecting what happens during the "official" composes 
by the Fedora Project. There's a subtle difference in these two 
processes already, but at least now we can be sure that if Revisor 
errors out, so would livecd-tools.

What do you think? Should I exclude all .i?86 packages on x86_64 spins? 
If we do, can we make sure this happens during the official composes as 
well -without forcing Release Engineering to use revisor-cli instead of 
livecd-tools?

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
