I guess I don't find that a particularly compelling proposal then. The first benefit listed is: Stopping to run unnecessary package builds on i686 will free up no small amount of resources. In particular, stopping to build for i686 could potentially free up almost half of the existing x86 builder resources in koji. Then lets actually stop unnecessary package builds, by filtering out the source packages that are neither delivered, nor required to build any delivered i686 package. I don't see any real reason to involve individual package maintainers in that, and especially no reason to update spec files for that. The packages are ALREADY not delivered, all that is needed to stop building them too. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to 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/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
