You might even say I've done your paperwork for you :) The only two cases you'd need to take care to look into are: - Go binaries that are used by non-Go packages. Those (and all their dependencies) would need to stay, unless those non-Go packages would also stop building on i686. This includes both build-time and run-time dependencies. Or, if the package in question is noarch, you'd need to make sure that it's not ever built on a i686 build host, and doesn't use the functionality provided by the Go binary at runtime. - Go libraries used for building several language bindings for some other project (I'm thinking of stuff like protobuf): The Go bindings for provides-multiple-language-bindings packages would need to be gated behind "%ifnarch %{ix86}". So, It won't be as simple as just dropping "%{ix86}" from %go_arches, I'm afraid :( 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
