The only difference to the normal rpm's is that ours are compiled
mtune=i686. And honestly right now I am even thinking the difference is
not that great to justify such a step. We probably should roll only
rpm's where we actually do genuinely make a difference, the xorg rpm for
instance or any other where we modify something (like prelink). I have
seen most increases there without having to roll out dozens of other
rpm's.

And then there are already x86_64 compiled rpm's in existence .... the
ones we would compile would virtually not make nay difference. We just
introduce a probability of incompatibility/bugs.

That is really the only step really required.

And that one ;)


Anyhow .. what are your thoughts?
