What is i386_64? Is that what the rest of the world is calling amd64 and x86_64? If so,
why that name?

Subject: Package tree structure
I am currently working on a channel system for system-config-packages
similar to the one used by red-carpet.
As such, I would like verify the intended
download.fedora.redhat.com
hierarchy.
The root level will contain the overall package sets.
[core|extras|alternatives|3rd party|...]
Each of these package sets will contain subsets of packages in different
states of development. The numbered release will freeze at
approximately 2-3 month intervals. Development and Testing are rolling
releases.
[1|2|...|development|test]
Each of these Releases may be compiled for a number of archs.
[i386|i386_64|...]
Additionally, the numbered release will have updates and possibly legacy
packages. Updates will continue for approximately 12 months and the
legacy will continue as long as maintainers are interested
[updates|legacy]
This should result in a tree looking as such.
fedora
-core
-1
-i386
-i386_64
-updates
-i386
-legacy
-i386
-2
-i386
-i386_64
-development
-i386
-i386_64
-test
-i386
-
-extras
-1
-i386
-2
-i386
There is already some deviance from this tree
with
-core
-updates
-1
-testing
Because each numbered release will contain updates, updates should be a
child of it's numbered parent. -updates/test either needs to merge into
-test or -1/updates.
I don't intended to too uptight, but setting standards will help make
the tree more navigable for everyone.
Thanks
