I yaourt 64bit aware, or could I end up trying to install 32bit apps with yaourt ?

One thing I like to do when installing a package from AUR is edit the PKGBUILD when it asks if you want to. Look for the line that says arch=('i686' 'x86_64'), if it just says arch=('i686') then add the x86_64 part. So far I haven't had any problems at all even when the x86_64 wasn't there, I added it and everything build fine.

yaourt works for both i686 and x86_64. You can use this repository:

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64

(pre-release packages are built for i686 but works with 64bit too)

Wain, I guess I didn't make myself quite clear, english is not my native tongue.

What I was trying to ask was if using yaourt on a 64bit system is safe (as safe as yaourt is on 32bit). Will it be aware that it's a 64bit system and only install programs that are 64bit.

oh yes it's safe. A lot of yaourt's users have an x86_64 system.
