For qemu 10.0.0 there's more issues than just the tests. All 64bit emulation was dropped from upstream i686 builds. That's about half the qemu-user-* and qemu-system-* content. qemu 10.0.0 also deprecates 32bit host support entirely, so it will likely be removed upstream in 10.2.0, expected around December 2025. > Dropping it will mean changes in several other packages.

I thought noarch leaf packages didn't need manual `ExcludeArch: i686` but I've been told that's incorrect. So the affected package list is much bigger :( Some of the affected packages are lorax, pungi, livecd-tools, appliance-tools. Are any of those still relevant on i686 host for rel-eng needs? Has anyone gone through the effort of removing i686 from a wide reaching non-leaf package? Any advice appreciated Thanks, Cole -- _______________________________________________ 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
