How to update x86_64?



Hi,

what is the current recommended practice to upgrade x86_64 installations
from rawhide?

I used to locally mirror the rawhide repository for my architecture and
rpm --freshen my installation from it. Recently I have found that RPM
does not take the architecture into account when determining whether a
package shall be updated and either installs the x86_64 package when
only the i386 variant was installed or fails to upgrade an installed
package when there is a i386 RPM with the same name but unsatisfied
dependencies. I have therefore created a problem report but that was
declined: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134171

Shall I reopen that bug? Do yum or up2date provide this kind of feature?
How do I get them to use my local repository?

Tom
