qt5-qtwebengine available
by Dan Horák 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

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.

amdgpu driver disables DC on 5.19-rc7
by Dan Horák 21 Jul '22

Hi all, seems the 5.19-rc7 kernel got a patch [1] that disables the DC support in the amdgpu driver for all PPC64 platforms, including our ppc64le. I think it's wrong, because the build failure that preceded this change came from a non-ppc64le system/toolchain, if I understand it right. If it's true I will work with the Fedora kernel maintainers to get this commit reverted in our kernels, because it would cause regression to our users.
