Re: What is the status of i686 in Fedora?

    Hi, AFAIK the current Fedora Guidelines allow documentation to be
      built separately and bundled in the binary RPMs:
    *
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/what-can-be-packaged/#prebuilt-binaries-or-libraries
    ```

    
      Some examples of content which is permissible:
    
    
        Package documentation or help files.
      
    
    ```

              Hi,
              
                Recently, Linux-PAM released v1.7.0,
                    which among other changes, now requires the fop
                    package to build the documentation. However, this
                    package depends on Java, which is missing for
                      the i686 architecture. As a result, I am
                    unable to rebase and build PAM in rawhide.
                I've discovered two related Fedora System Wide
                    Changes: one encourages
                      dropping unused or leaf packages on i686, the
                    other indicates the removal of
                      i686 JDKs. But I haven't found
                    any System Wide Change that formally removes this
                    architecture.
                As you know, PAM is a core Fedora
                  package, and discontinuing the i686 build
                    would effectively mean ending support for this
                    architecture. So, my question is: can I proceed and
                    stop building PAM for i686?
              
              
          We still have i686 in Fedora for multilib use-cases.
            There's no expectation for i686 to be an install target, so
            maybe it would be acceptable to only build the docs on
            %java_arches and just exclude them on i686?
