hello -

i was following an earlier thread titled:

[Maria-discuss] Install MariaDB repo official Centos-7

this is the first time i have attempted an RPM install. so i decided to try it myself, using 10.2 on a new Centos7 installation created in google-console.

the installation went perfectly, but now i have a question.

i let mariadb generate my repo using this link:

https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/#mirror=jaleco&distro=CentOS&distro_release=centos7-amd64--centos7&version=10.2

and the following repo was generated:

# MariaDB 10.2 CentOS repository list - created 2017-11-28 17:28 UTC # http://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/ [mariadb] name = MariaDB baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.2/centos7-amd64 gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB gpgcheck=1

my question: when i cat /proc/cpuinfo, i see the following:

vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU @ 2.30GHz

and yet the repo specifies "centos7-amd64".

does it matter that amd64 is being specified rather than Intel?

Thank you,

Mark Edwards
