That already happened several releases ago. But secondary arches failing blocks package builds in Fedora, and enough i686 package builds fail now that it's become a problem, and - as Neal points out - part of the deal with i686 being a secondary arch was that there would be an active SIG to take care of arch-specific problems, like there is for each of the *other* secondary arches. But that didn't really pan out: the x86 list has had 38 mails, ever, most of which are people asking for someone to look at an x86-specific problem and...no-one doing it. Some folks did attempt to help, but there really wasn't enough time+expertise there to make it viable. -- 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 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@lists.fedoraproject.org
