There is no kernel being built on i686. This breaks several
assumptions:
(1) Any package which depends on a kernel module by requiring
‘kmod(foo.ko)’ will no longer be installable on i686. If it
BuildRequires the package it will FTBFS.
Packages affected:
- batctl
- floppy-support
- gfs2-utils
- joystick-support
- snapd
- usbip
- xl2tpd
(2) Any package which depends on ‘kernel-devel’ or
‘kernel-devel-uname-r’ will no longer be installable. If it
BuildRequires the package it will FTBFS.
Packages affected (some of these may be from rpmfusion):
- akmods
- bcc-tools
- dkms
- systemtap-devel [this causes lots of packages to FTBFS]
My real question: Is this going to be a long-term state of affairs?
Should I start dropping dependencies / stop building stuff which needs
a kernel on i686? Or should we wait it out?
The x86 SIG was emailed about the issue preventing the kernel from
building. I'm not sure if they've responded. If the SIG needs help
with the thing they're supposed to be tasked with, they should reach
out to see if there are others that are willing to debug.
