Replying to [comment:3 rjones]:
Do you have a timescale for that? -- EDIT: Rereading I see "next
few
weeks".
Correct on the Power64 merge, I would prefer that as well, I was hoping to
do it this week but ATM it looks like it'll be next week.
My other worry is that I know the new POWER code gen is full of bugs
and
likely *won't* work sufficiently for us to build many packages, thus
preventing the whole update. You might say that's a feature not a bug,
and I'd sort of agree, but debugging the code gen is from past experience
extremely time-consuming. I'd rather have the option to leave out POWER
and let upstream/IBM fix it.
By "let upstream/IBM fix it" basically translates to "make a whole lot of
extra work for the Alternate Arches team so they have to chase their tail
to catch up. We can engage with IBM here and I'd sooner it's fixed
upstream _BEFORE_ is lands in Fedora so that it's less work overall for
everyone involved.
