Previous discussion: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/C2U5RBADZB2ZUMR74PLNV73C3AIPSLWH/#C2U5RBADZB2ZUMR74PLNV73C3AIPSLWH qemu currently builds binaries for i686, see eg: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2694902 However this is becoming increasingly difficult to support. Currently the i686 tests don't pass. Disabling the tests is possible, but then we'd be shipping untested binaries. Fixing the tests is also possible, but a bunch of work (if you are interested in doing that work, please join the PR above and submit fixes.) Dropping it will mean changes in several other packages. See both the PR and the previous discussion link for a potential list of affected packages. Rich. PS #1 this is _not_ about dropping qemu-i386 or qemu-system-i386, that is, 32-bit x86 binary or full VM emulation running on other host arches such as x86_64. PS #2 apparently qemu running on i686 was able to emulate x86_64... probably very very slowly. This capability has been dropped upstream, in case anyone was doing that crazy thing. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-builder quickly builds VMs from scratch http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html -- _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
