Hi, From time to time this question rise up. So I would like to bring another view from this issue. I've tried to look at existing topics and the main issue seems the requirement to build using rhel.
The other point is that if that both arches (i686,x86_64 as soon as x86 is concerned) are built, it should be done at the scale of the epel repository. I haven't seen this point discussed, but I think what is really needed when talking about multilibs is only a really small subset of packages. wine, libva, libglvnd (if ever relevant for EL at this point), probably others. (libvdpau was moved to base because of that reason). There are others packages that would be needed but not part of epel. So, I'm going to enable support for multilibs for EL based OS in our 3rd part repository project: https://lists.rpmfusion.org/archives/list/rpmfusion-develop...@lists.rpmfusion.org/thread/ZM2TIYKOT4JOODKYQC2HU4A5BOMO44VI/ Because we only rely on CentOS, this is an easy path for us, It's just a matter to create a dedicated koji target and build tag that have i686 along x86_64 and use the same destination tag as the normal target. Unfortunately this cannot be done for epel because I expect that there is no "public" compiler for the i686 arch on rhel. Instead I wonder if it would be possible to consider using the x86_64 gcc and cross-compile to i686 ? It would be a matter to tag few packages as set-pkg-arches i686 in koji provided that the "base" i686 -devel packages can be installed in the buildroot. I hopes a long term solution can be found within epel (if any rhel8 32bit support). The probable alternative is ask the package to migrate to base... -- - Nicolas (kwizart) _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
