If .spec files are maintained in a "use conditionals and merge everywhere" fashion, then the "ExcludeArch: i686" statement would need to be wrapped in a "%if %fedora >= 37" conditional. So no, in general the change for excluding i686 must not be pushed to stable branches. > ------- > > My package is noarch but has multiple arched dependencies.

I think this case is already covered in the Packaging Guidelines for "noarch packages with unported dependencies": https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_noarch_with_unported_dependencies Fabio _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
