The various ANTLR packages will be impacted by https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Drop_i686_JDKs. The parser generators, which are written in Java, will no longer be available on i686. If absolutely necessary, we could continue to package the various language runtimes for i686. That would be a major pain in the neck. WIth ANTLR 4 in particular, the version currently in Rawhide (4.10.1) is not compatible with previous runtimes. Most of the consumers we have in Rawhide ship parsers that were generated with ANTLR 4.6 through 4.9 generators, so they are not compatible with the 4.10.1 runtimes. (We regenerate the parsers at build time.) Continuing to support i686 would therefore mean packaging old versions of the language runtimes, just for i686. My preference is to stop building everything ANTLR-related on i686. This has consequences for packages written in C, C++, Go, and OCaml, at least. I'll omit Java packages other than the ANTLR packages from the lists below, since they will disappear from i686 on their own. Affected packages with maintainers: - antlr3 (jjames, mizdebsk, dchen, mjakubicek, walters): we could conceivably keep the C, C++, and JavaScript runtimes if absolutely necessary - antlr4-project (jjames, mhayden, @go-sig): we could conceivably keep the C++, Go, JavaScript, Python3, and Swift runtimes, but see above - azure-cli (mhayden, @python-sig): needs the Python3 runtime from the antlr4-project package - belle-sip (nucleo, sdgathman): needs the C runtime from the antlr3 package - coq (amdunn, jjames): needs the Python3 runtime from the antlr4-project package - cvc4 (jjames, brouhaha): needs the C runtime from the antlr3 package - flocq (jjames): depends on coq - frama-c (jjames): depends on why3 - gappalib-coq (jjames): depends on flocq - golang-github-google-cel (eclipseo, @go-sig): needs the Go runtime from the antlr4-project package - golang-google-grpc (eclipseo, @go-sig): needs golang-github-google-cel. Is consumed by a TON of other Go packages, so many that I did not attempt to trace them. - ocaml-menhir (jjames): we can remove the coq subpackage only on i686; it isn't consumed by anything in Fedora - why3 (jjames): depends on flocq Packages by maintainer: @go-sig: antlr4-project, golang-github-google-cel, golang-google-grpc, numerous consumers of golang-google-grpc @python-sig: azure-cli amdunn: coq brouhaha: cvc4 dchen: antlr3 eclipseo: golang-github-google-cel, golang-google-grpc jjames: antlr3, antlr4-project, coq, cvc4, flocq, frama-c, gappalib-coq, ocaml-menhir, why3 mhayden: antlr4-project, azure-cli mizdebsk: antlr3 mjakubicek: antlr3 nucleo: belle-sip sdgathman: belle-sip walters: antlr3 I am going to be mostly offline starting Saturday, so I intend to deal with this when I get back, approximately July 18. That is just before the mass rebuild, of course. If anybody has a problem with dropping i686 builds for the above packages, please come up with a plan to deal with the situation by then. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ 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
