Are they any mirrors (with rsync support) available in the world?

I'd like to have this repo inside the LAN to avoid unnecessary traffic
and I don't want to overload the main ḿirror...

 We have moved it into place here, which is where it is going to live
 permanently:

 http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/i386/

Yes, I build the 32 bit updates at the same time I build the 64 bit
updates, as there are MultiLib packages required for the x86_64 tree.

These almost always get pushed at exactly the same time (certainly on
the same day) as the 64 bit updates.

The one exception to this is the kernel as there are some major
differences in kernels.  See this to see the diff:

http://bit.ly/28LHcgw

So kernel updates may take a day or two to build and test.

But the good news is, that Gnome bug is now completely gone, so no
action required for that any longer.

I am working on a wiki page now and we are still doing some testing, but
the 32 bit arch should be completely usable right now and installable
(in its final form) from these isos:

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/i386/

The 2 bugs listed in the link above are still there:

1.  If installing on a QEMU (kvm) i386 VM, you must modify the VM cpu to
use "copy host cpu"

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8748

2.  The gnome desktop will not exit or log out from the menu.

  http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8834

Both have workarounds listed.



​um...hmmm...the non-logout from Gnome would certainly be a hassle for me,
but not the shutdown as I don't shutdown from GUI. OK, I will look further
into this before changing over.



The GUI logout works fine once you:

gsettings set org.gnome.SessionManager logout-prompt false

BTW, I have tried to get a dconf config file working to fix this issue
(trying to automatically replicate:

gsettings set org.gnome.SessionManager logout-prompt false

But I can not get it working.  If someone can get a good dconf working
(or figure out the actual issue), I would be willing to modify the
gnome-session.i686 RPM to fix the issue.

We have moved it into place here, which is where it is going to live
permanently:

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/i386/

I am working on a wiki page now and we are still doing some testing, but
the 32 bit arch should be completely usable right now and installable
(in its final form) from these isos:

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/i386/

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8748

2.  The gnome desktop will not exit or log out from the menu.

 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8834

Both have workarounds listed.

We should have a release announcement fairly soon and hopefully EPEL
will start building 32 bit packages soon(ish) as well.

Thanks,
