Re: [cooker-amd64] Any hdlist-ifiied amd64 cooker contrib mirrors? Where is Mdk for amd64 headed?

[Pierre-Olivier Gaillard]

Hello,

I faced the same questions. I decided to purchase a Silver Club 
Membership. At the moment I am quite disappointed :
 1) AMD64 is not an option in the package voting system. I really want 
to vote for a few AMD64 packages.
 2) I did not find an appropriate contrib directory for AMD64 in the 
club section.
 3) I have not found a working cooker directory for AMD64 yet (I get 
hundreds of errors with the one I found in Austria. Now I even have 
urpmi --auto-select going into an infinite loop. Tough luck.) and my 
Club Membership did not provide me with a magic solution (e.g. a list of 
good media sources to use with urpmi). They seem to provide that for 
i586 but not for AMD64.

Anyway the product itself (Mdk 9.2 for AMD64) is quite good, so I 
believe that it was fair for me to pay 120EUR for my Club Membership.

A good thing I noticed : on mandrakeexpert I can describe my computer so 
that Mandrake can know that I use AMD64 and not i586.

All in all I think that the Club Membership is a good deal even though 
the Club itself is not very nice. I think of my membership as a way of 
paying for the help Gwenole Beauchesne is providing on this list. This 
really makes it look like a bargain ;-)

	sincerely,
