I maintain the python-pexpect package, which is noarch. Koji is trying
to build the Fedora 20 packages on ARM machines, and for some reason,
one of the tests is failing. I've opened a report with upstream, but
neither the upstream maintainer nor I have access to any ARM machines to
figure out what's going on.
What's the right way to deal with this situation? Is it possible to
block the noarch package from the ARM architecture?
The right way to deal with it is to fix the problem. We've had a couple of packages of late with this issue, in the case of some it's actually turned out to be a real bug that was some how being masked on x86 too for some reason.
In terms of testing or debugging probably the easiest way is to spin up an image under qemu emulation, it's not the fastest but it works pretty well. If there's anything else I can help with feel free to ask.
