This is a valid concern, and one that I'm also worried about. According to this web page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V Fedora wants to support the RV64GC architecture, which I think corresponds to riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu. The Rust project indicates that riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu is a Tier 2 architecture: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support.html FWIW, Fedora also supports armv7hl (armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf) and s390x-unknown-linux-gnu, which are also Tier 2 Rust architectures, but which have Rust packages: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1939157 So, I guess the bad news is that RISCV is not Tier 1, but the good news is that Tier 2 is already pretty good. Relatedly, I hear that Linux will start using Rust. I suspect that as that happens, a lot more resources will be invested in making sure Rust has good support on all of the platforms that Linux supports. Finally, rpm 4.18 will support both the internal OpenPGP parser and the Sequoia-based parser. So, if the Sequoia-based parser proves inadequate for some platforms (e.g., it doesn't compile or the test suite fails), Fedora can still fallback to the internal parser on that platforms. Note, though, that the internal OpenPGP parser is slated to be removed in 4.19: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/1935 Neal _______________________________________________ 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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
