I have previously installed the Foreman on several 64 bit systems using the provided rpms.
At home I would like to install it in a VM on an old system. As a consequence of this limited hardware I can only run 32 bit software.
What I found is that there are no 32bit rpms ready for download.
Is that simply because (almost) no one uses 32bit systems anymore or is there a technical reason for this?
I just want know this because in the latter case there is no point in me trying to build it from source.
Thanks

For EL6, software collections (SCL) are only built for x86_64, so we
don't have the underlying dependencies. I expect SCL could be rebuilt
for i686, but I've not tried.
For Fedora, we simply dropped it as there appeared to be little demand
and it reduced our build/test matrix.

Ok, thanks for the info.
I'm going to try to build and install it on my system at home.
