The premise of the new change request is to ignore all the issues that led to the original change request being rejected, and just assume that the original will be accepted in the near future. AVX2 is not a reasonable requirement as a replacement for the current Fedora x86_64, as there are CPUs still being made today that don't support that. If you want to split x86_64 (along the lines of i386 vs. i686), then building a shadow copy of the entire distribution is not a good way forward - you need to do all the actual work required to make a second x86_64 sub-architecture in the main x86_64 distribution. Come up with a name, make the changes to the required packages, etc. Otherwise, what is the point of the shadow architecture? What is the end goal? Build it in perpetuity and just try to get people to run your packages instead of the main distribution? -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-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/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
