= System Wide Change: AArch64 Server Promotion = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AArch64_Server_Promotion Change owner(s): * Peter Robinson <pbrobinson AT fedoraproject DOT org> * Paul Whalen <pwhalen AT fedoraproject DOT org> Promote Aarch64 server technologies to Primary Architecture status. This would include the Server installer, the DVD installer ISOs, the Cloud (qcow2 images) and Docker base images to the same status as other primary Server architectures. This would NOT currently include other components such as Workstation images/installs, any of the various spins, or Fedora Atomic components. == Detailed Description == The AArch64 Architecture in the server space is a mature product with numerous platforms widely available for testing. We support both SBSA Enterprise Haware as well as a number of Single Board Computers, initially officially supported in Fedora 27 with the aarch64 SBC Feature, with new device support being added all the time and more widely available and affordable hardware. The changes is actually a minor one as we already produce all the deliverables as an Alternate Architecture, this primarily be a change of where the output of the artifacts are delivered on the mirrors and making the architecture a release blocking architecture. This would NOT currently include other components such as Workstation images/installs, any of the various spins, or Fedora Atomic components. == Scope == * Proposal owners: The general AArch64 support is already in place and is widely and actively supported by the Fedora ARM SIG and numerous ARM vendors and third parties in Fedora. There will be further and wider support, hardware enablement, polish and general improvements. * Other developers: N/A: There's no work required for other developers, the aarch64 architecture is already widely supported as an Alternate Architecture. * Release engineering: Needs approval from release engineering as a primary architecture as well as pungi configuration changes to output artifacts to new location on the primary mirror. rel-eng ticket #7243: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7243 * Policies and guidelines: Updates to the primary architectures and release blocking details will need to be updated to reflect that the AArch64 Server/Cloud/Docker components are now considered primary. * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
