Bug 23927

Created attachment 10519 [details]
report x64 media + x86 updates

if we unselect core 32bit release you can't unselect core 32 bit update
and here it was not ignored as I wanted

Created attachment 10520 [details]
default x64 and x86

I've now disabled the 32bit medias on x86_64 installs on primary mirror...

They will still get added as source to make it simple for users to select 32bit packages if they need them...

We probably still need to check what installer does on upgrades, but clean installs should now be faster

As sysadmin, so outside the ISOs, or do I misunderstand?

So this report needs to stay open for the check on the upgrades.

Yep.

When you add online mirrors from now on, if you are running x86_64 install, it will add the 32bit medias, but they will not be enabled.

Yep

I believe the only extra thing that gets installed is the 32-bit version of pulse audio (and its dependencies). Colin's justification for it (from the spec file) was:

# (cg) Suggest the 32 bit library on 64 bits to ensure compatibility
#      with (typically closed source) 32 bit apps.

I guess this is getting less relevant as the years go by.

If you have the 32-bit repos enabled, both 32-bit and 64-bit

It may be your mirror responding slowly. I just tried using distrib-coffee and got 13s + 13s. Using my local NAS box (via FTP) took 8s + 10s.

The 32-bit nonfree media are still enabled...

Yeah, thats drakx code enabling them along with x86_64 when detecting need for nonfree stuff 

We need to fix that up

Meaning in media.cfg only core release and core updates are enabled by default, the rest is up to drakx (or urpm...)

For me, this is in the dependency check.
there is 17208 "* packageCallbackChoices: default choice" on the report.bug with all media
versus only 916 with only 64bit

Assigning to the Mageia Tools maintainers, then.
