From: Justin Forbes on gitlab.com https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1167#note_596780470 > I prefer cutting this down to be arm-specific and "trade the spec file complexity", since I see no reason for x86 (and other arch) customers (which I believe is a majority) to install completely useless packages. This is valid. I wasn't thinking about the dep on install, only the build side. As I didn't make the original change in Fedora, I was just verifying that we had this functionality and saw how it was put in. > A better question is, whether linking opencsd would allow the x86 users to e.g. analyse the coresight trace from perf.data obtained on aarch64. In such case, it would make sense. I would have to look at the code to see, or Fedora has been built this way for about a year, so any existing Fedora perf package should be a valid way to test. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
