Nitpick: ARM *is* a primary architecture. x86_64 and armhfp are the current Fedora primary architectures. All others are 'alternat(iv)e architectures' (the words 'alternate' and 'alternative' seem to be used as if they were interchangeable, in the various pages discussing this).

Well, we weren't talking about only changing the default on ARM, in the meeting. The implication was that we'd change the default for x86_64 as well. Since about three weeks ago we don't technically *have* to, I think, because we tweaked comps to allow specifying packages by arch, but we've not actually used this at all yet. The wrinkle in this situation is that Xfce is *only* a release-blocking environment *for ARM*. It is not a release blocking environment for x86_64. So I don't think the proposed criterion would actually *mean* much in this case. If someone actually decided to push for changing the Xfce default browser as a resolution to the bug (rather than fixing Firefox), telling them they have to change it for x86_64 as well as ARM probably wouldn't dissuade them. They'd just say "Fine, we'll do that." -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
