We are sad to announce that we will be dropping the aarch64 release from EPEL-7 repository. The aarch64 has been built in Red Hat Enterprise Linux as an alternative architecture which was supported with different kernels and other libraries. With the release of RHEL-8.0, Red Hat has decided to not build a 7.7 release.
This has been breaking builds in EPEL-7 which have been trying to get package versions and names which were upgraded in 7.7 for the ppc64le and x86_64 architectures. We have tried a couple of different hacks to make this work, and tried to pull in CentOS 7.7 aarch64 as a replacement OS. However, problems with how koji detects collisions and corrupted packages are triggered when file hashes between the noarch packages in RHEL and CentOS occur. At this point, we are going to have to end support for aarch64 in EPEL-7. If other sustainable solutions are possible in the future, we will re-evaluate and do what is needed to bring it back. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to epel-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/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
