amusingly, i wanted to see the "chromium" browser in action on my
f11 x86_64 laptop, so i went looking for a fedora rpm. i could find
it only in i586 form, which would have required installing a buttload
of i586 rpms for no good reason.
so i grabbed the source rpm and tried to build it for x86_64 -- epic
fail, since the spec file architectures are only arm and ix86. in
short, i can't get a native x86_64 build of that browser. what's up
with *that*?
