qt5-qtwebengine available
by Dan Horák
Hi all,
thanks to the work the community does on porting the Chromium browser
to ppc64le, we can have also the qt5-qtwebengine library available.
Currently there are ~20 packages that are excluded on ppc64le due the
unavailability of the webengine.
My "talos" COPR repository [1] contains now the main qt5-qtwebengine
package, pyqtwebengine bindings for Python and also the qmapshack app.
Building calibre fails in a test, investigating now. If there are other
apps you would like to be made available, let me know.
The plan is to merge the ppc64le support into the official Fedora rpms,
but it can take some time and depends on support from the maintainers of
the QT stack.

4k vs 64k page size, building both flavours of the kernel
by Daniel Pocock
Hi all,
I recently discovered[1] that a bunch of issues on POWER9 go away if I
use a 4k page size. Examples:
- Nouveau works with 4k, not with 64k
- WebRTC in Firefox wasn't working consistently with 64k, does work
consistently with 4k
- btrfs, which will be Fedora's default filesystem from Fedora 33, is
constrained by page size. btrfs filesystems can only be used on systems
with the same page size as the system where the filesystem was created
with mkfs
These issues are probably more relevant for users of workstations, such
as the Talos II and Blackbird from Raptor.
I looked in the kernel configs[2] and I noticed you only do a build with
64k enabled. Would you be willing to support an additional build with
4k, e.g.
CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=n
Thanks for your efforts supporting ppc64
Regards,
Daniel
