Dear maintainers,
Compiling the python-cpuinfo successed for loong64 in the Debian Package
Auto-Building environment.
But python-cpuinfo source package lacks LoongArch architecture support.
- Background information is provided below.
When I analyzed why python3-pandas-lib:loong64 was blocking the build of
29 source packages, I found that the compilation dependency
(python3-tables-lib:loong64) of pandas was not satisfied.
The reason is that pytables compilation failed, please check the
following error log,
```
......
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cpuinfo/cpuinfo.py", line 366, in
_check_arch
raise Exception("py-cpuinfo currently only works on X86 "
Exception: py-cpuinfo currently only works on X86 and some
ARM/PPC/S390X/MIPS/RISCV CPUs.
......
```
The full build log of pytables, please see
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=pytables&ver=3.9.2-1&arch=loong64.
In short, the chain of dependencies is as follows,
python3-pandas-lib(src:pandas) ——> python3-tables-lib(src:pytables) ——>
python3-cpuinfo(src:python-cpuinfo)
The result is that python-cpuinfo lacks LoongArch support, even though
it is a package for the all architecture.
- The support for LoongArch was added to python-cpuinfo upstream in Nov.
2022.
The upstream link for python-cpuinfo is
https://github.com/workhorsy/py-cpuinfo.
The end, could you add LoongArch support in the next upload?
Your suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Dandan Zhang
