Announcing Fedora Core 5 Test 3

[Kazunari Hirano]

Hi Jesse,
> Yes, there is a single srpm that will generate binary rpms for each
> arch.  However not every arch gets every package, and some packages are
> specific to just one arch.  s390-utils and the like.  This would mean
> that given the binary packages in a given arch, the source package set
> could vary between each arch.  In the past, the specific source package
> set was spun into isos for each arch creating slightly different iso
> sets for each arch and a lot of wasted space.  Now all the srpms used
> for any arch are put in a single directory, and that directory is used
> to spin a single set of source isos.  Much less wasted space and much
> easier to bypass the sources when you are downloading or mirroring.
Thanks for your explanation.  Very clear now :)
I have just translated your comment above into Japanese and forwarded
