Dear Scientific Linux maintainers.
Recently CMS started to move to SL5 and we noticed that one of the
compatibility libraries we rely on does not come in the 32bit flavor in the
SL5 64-bit distribution.
The RPM name is:
openssl097a-0.9.7a
<http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/53/x86_64/SL/openssl097a-0.9.7a-9.el5_2.1.x86_64.rpm>
The 64 bit repository contains only the 64 bit version:
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/53/x86_64/SL/
One needs to get the 32-bit version from the 32-bit repository
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/53/i386/SL/
which is very annoying, since it cannot be done easily with yum.
Would it be possible to fix this?
And possibly push the change to Red Hat as well, so that it gets fix in all
RH-clones (like CentOS)?
In order to convince RedHat to put this in there needs to be a good case
for this. Can you provide more detail as to why you need it and why the
64 bit library is not suffcient.
