Rawhide nodebug kernel for armhfp

[Nicolas Chauvet]

Hi,

With the removal of the armhfp koji target in rawhide, the
kernel-rawhide-nodebug kernel repository is missing an armhfp build.

As building an armhfp kernel on copr natively is inefficient (it would
use an x86_64 builder with qemu-system-arm emulation), I've setup a
copr repository that will cross-compile an armhfp kernel on a x86_64
host.

Currently available is a (normal) kernel package (and kernel-lpae)
tracking once a week the fedora kernel distgit repository unmodified
(aka 6.2-rc1).
(tested on trimslice)

I also plan to switch a kernel-longterm package from 5.15 to 6.1 in
the next few weeks.

Please see https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kwizart/cross-armhfp/

Hopefully the fc36 EOL kernel will be in a good shape to shutdown the
armhfp architecture in Fedora.
Hope this helps.

I'm not sure where the nodebug kernels are published but Justin does
f36 build of up coming rebases explicitly for armhfp testing.

Yeah, armhfp is no longer a part of rawhide-nodebug, and I have no
plans to bring it back.

I did, but it seems that can't work now that patches have to differ
between F36 and F37, but to do an official build out of stabilization
I can do one or the other. I went with F37 because we don't seem to
have too many f36 users. I did kick off a scratch build just now, so
it will be a few hours.
