This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == We will stop building the Fedora Atomic Desktops for the PowerPC 64 LE architecture. According to the count me statistics, we don't have any Atomic Desktops users on PPC64LE. Users of Atomic Desktops on PPC64LE will have to either switch back to a Fedora package mode installation or build their own images using Bootable Containers which are available for PPC64LE. == Owner == * [[User:Siosm| Timothée Ravier]], siosm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx == Detailed Description == Nothing more than the summary. == Feedback == None so far. == Benefit to Fedora == Not building for PPC64LE means less infrastructure load, less maintenance, less testing to be done. We can focus on the architectures where hardware is more easily available and where we have a lot of users already (i.e. x86_64 and aarch64). == Scope == * Proposal owners: Remove the ppc64le builds from the pungi & bodhi configs. * Other developers: N/A * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issues #Releng issue number] (TODO) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: N/A == Upgrade/compatibility impact == Users of Atomic Desktops on PPC64LE will have to switch back to a Fedora package mode installation or build their own images using Bootable Containers which are available for PPC64LE. Note that this change is only about the Atomic Desktops images and installers and thus all the RPM packages will still be available for anyone to build images using the Bootable Container flow. == Early Testing (Optional) == N/A == How To Test == N/A == User Experience == N/A == Dependencies == N/A == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?) We keep things as is * Contingency deadline: Beta release * Blocks release? No == Documentation == Fedora Atomic Desktops are not longer built for the PowerPC 64 LE architecture. == Release Notes == Fedora Atomic Desktops are not longer built for the PowerPC 64 LE architecture. -- Aoife Moloney Fedora Operations Architect Fedora Project Matrix: @amoloney:fedora.im IRC: amoloney -- _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-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-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ 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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
