A significant miss here is 'testing'. Making an arch primary means we need to ensure we have the necessary resources to run all the relevant validation testing. I note pwhalen is a co-owner of the proposal so he's likely signed up to ensure testing gets done, but still, it should be properly covered in the Change document itself. As a further note, almost all the Server validation for x86_64 is done by openQA; doing it manually can be a considerable pain, as you have to set up a mini FreeIPA deployment. It would probably be best if we add aarch64 workers to the Fedora openQA deployment to run these tests on aarch64; we've already extended openQA (staging) to ppc64, so all the bits should be in place for us to add another arch, pretty much. I'm going to follow up on this with pwhalen. Another consideration would be whether we ought to also have aarch64 support in Taskotron, if it's going to become a primary arch. I'm not actually sure if Taskotron currently covers 32-bit ARM, though, even. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
