My apologies for being late to the party.
Peter, I see that you updated the spec file to fix i686 building. Does that
mean that everything is resolved?

It is definitive. See FESCo ticket #1737 ( https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1737). The x86 SIG has until September 8th to get organized, or i686 gets pulled from the official kernels.

It is not. There is no grub2-pc in dist-git, and grub2 has this ExcludeArch:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grub2/blob/master/f/grub2.spec#_57
It is not enough to build the 32-bit PC/BIOS grub2 on x86_64, it has to be
built on i686 too to be in the i686 repo.
Ideally, you would also support the 32-bit UEFI and even 64-bit UEFI
binaries on the i686 distro, but at the very least, the BIOS version that
was always there needs to be built again.

It is still built as grub2-pc{,-modules}, just built a bit differently.
I'll figure out how to re-work it so you won't see a problem, thanks for
the heads up.

That addition of %ix86 to the ExcludeArch should probably be dropped. There was nothing that indicated that should have been added to begin with. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

I think I read here (or in other mailing list) about an interest in dropping 32bit altogether. But this might be just my imagination.

No i686 build of grub2?
Currently grub2 isn't being built for i686 since somewhere between 2.02-8 and 2.02-10. I looked through the change log (but not the git log yet) and didn't see anything mentioning this, which I would have expected if it was an intentional change. So is this a new permanent feature going forward or a temporary oops? (I still have one machine I use regularly, that only runs i686 and it will probably be a while before I can afford to replace it.) ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
