The last compat break was between 1.6 and 1.7. Moreover, the format is not portable between different cacheline and page sizes (ie, ppc64el) and no one expressed a desire for such conversions yet. > Should pmdk-convert be built on all architectures where pmdk > is available? I added arm64 only because 1. it has same layout as x86 (cacheline 64, page 4096) thus you can copy pools over, and 2. as a porting check. In theory the same can be said about riscv64, but considering limitations of hardware expected in the next couple of years... naaah. Another problem is, even the top version of pmdk embedded in -convert predates ppc64 porting, and that'd require some upstream[ish] work. Thus, I'd add new archs only when there is something for them to do. Meow! -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ Being wise is hard, but wise-ass... ooh, this one I can deliver! ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
