Great :) Ohh, I forgot -- we currently use something like ExclusiveArch: i586, i686, x86_64, ppc to specify the target archs to build for. Some people don't like that -- it would be good if the buildsys could handle this, too (but of course the buildsys should not try to build for i386 -- that will fail). > > > ppc64iseries and > > > ppc64 support isn't there yet though... > > ppc64 would probably require a special builder afaik where *.ppc64 isn't > > excluded?

Yeah, I know. For ppc-build that's okay and the best solution, but to build ppc64 kmod's we need to include at least kernel-devel*.ppc64 and probably some other crucial packages, too (glibc.ppc64 libgcc.ppc64 ? maybe others ). I tried to build a kmod for ppc64 with mock once -- worked just fine after removing the Exclude = *.ppc64 from the mock-conf for the target and putting ppc64-redhat-linux into /etc/rpm/platform on the host. So it shouldn't be a big deal to set a plague-builder up for ppc64 somewhere. But how to we make sure that only kmod's are build for ppc64 (and not everything). Can plague handle that? -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
