The _scheduler_ inside OBS is called "armv8el", the rpm architecture is armv7hl . This is just a name and no reference to "ARMv8". We just had no time to jump to a newer OBS release (which has armv7el + armv7hl), so we took the unused placeholder "armv8el" to get hardfp up asap and have to deal with the naming confusion. So for the records - currently we have: * armv7el = armv7l softfp * armv8el = armv7l hardfp In the next version of OBS, there are then: * armv7el = armv7l softfp * armv7hl = armv7l hardfp (* armv8el = unused/future) > All I can find about it are future references, > like: Yes, this is no ARM arch name, just a scheduler naming. > Also, an "ARMv8" build implies that it doesn't run on ARMv7 hardware.
