No kernel package on Fedora Rawhide ppc64le?

[Richard W.M. Jones]

  https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=39456403

  DEBUG util.py:596:  No matching package to install: 'kernel'

I can see that ppc64le was temporarily added to nobuildarches in
kernel.spec, and then removed.  However there is no explanation in
git, and there was no successful build since then.

What I also don't understand is why the older or F31 ppc64le kernel
package isn't inherited into the buildroot on ppc64le.

It has
been reported, a patch attempt was made, but ruled incorrect, and
the maintainer hasn't corrected one. In the meantime, I felt it was
worthwhile to have a testable build for the merge window. We have done this
from time to time wit other arches that do not build in rawhide for short
periods of time.  It was one of the advantages of having kernel-headers
split out.  I expect a PPC64LE return soon.

Would it be an option to temporarily disable that netfilter offload option
for ppc64le to get around that issue instead?

+1 for a temporary config change

Justin, do you have an upstream link/pointer for the build issue?
