Description

The title says it all. Normally in RHEL/CentOS you would do "yum install foo.i386" or "yum install foo.i686" to install a 32 bit package on a 64 bit system. Rudder will give back an error:

So far I can come up with 2 possible sulutions:

  • Make it possible to install package foo.i686
  • Make a dropdown with different archs to choose from
