Hi, Sorry for crossposting -- replies please only to fedora-extras-list. tia! Just FYI, I created several new tracker bugs: 179258 - FE-ExcludeArch-x86 179259 - FE-ExcludeArch-x64 179260 - FE-ExcludeArch-PPC How should they get used? Simple: If you have a packages that uses ExcludeArch or ExclusiveArch to exclude some architectures from the build you need to file a separate bug for them [*1]. This bug should be marked as blocking the corresponding tracker bug(s) listed above -- this simplifies tracking such issues for other people interested in these archs that might want to take a look into the problem and fix it. Note: If the bug you created for your package is probably unfixable (Examples: apt for x86-64 will probably never happen; wine for ppc seems also unlikely; Packages specific to ppc that use a ExclusiveArch: ppc ppc64) then you should close the bug directly after reporting. Otherwise leave it open. CU thl [*1] -- Quote from http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines > MUST: If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on > an architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec > in ExcludeArch. Each architecture listed in ExcludeArch needs to have > a bug filed in bugzilla, describing the reason that the package does > not compile/build/work on that architecture. The bug number should > then be placed in a comment, next to the corresponding ExcludeArch > line. New packages will not have bugzilla entries during the review > process, so they should put this description in the comment until the > package is approved, then file the bugzilla entry, and replace the > long explanation with the bug number. -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
