I am building all the packages for both as we do 7.1. But, so far the new kernel is not building 32 bit :( -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Out of curiosity, I gave PUIAS/Springdale a spin. They have a 32-bit version of 7, although it's not advertised anywhere, and I stumbled over it more or less by accident while searching through their repositories. It runs nice on one of my sandbox PCs. Though I'd rather have a 32-bit CentOS 7. As far as Wine is concerned, I guess the best solution will be to wait until you put a 32-bit version in [extra].

If they get that working (or if anyone else does) then I will grab their configs and build it. Since Red Hat does not build the i686 kernel for RHEL 7 (just kernel headers for build requirements), they have not tested that a full kernel builds, nor do they provide i686 config files. But Red Hat does backport changes into their kernels and therefore standard 3.10.x kernel config files do not work with the Red Hat backported kernels. If someone out there is smart enough to build the 7.1 kernel for i686 .. really, just smart enough to create good config files that will build .. that will help. I plan to do that after 7.1 64 bit is released and all the updates after 7.1 happen, but if someone can do it earlier, it will speed getting a 7.1 32 bit after the 64 bit is done. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
