Hi All,
I'd like to ask about using a reduced package set for secondary arch ports of Fedora.
When this all started, we had laid down the requirements that any package changes be in Fedora CVS, and the packages would all be built via the Fedora build tools. In discussions with Dennis, it seems the current mode of operation is to require the secondary arch ports to build the full package set of Fedora (minus Exclude/ExclusiveArch) before being considered a true secondary arch.
Is this summary accurate? I can understand some of the reasoning behind it. However, I find it to be excessive. Particularly for architectures that simply would not benefit at all from having cowsay or fortune or even Gnome built for that architecture.
So I am requesting that we review our package set policy and try to come to some agreement.
