Hi,

katacontainers and katacontainers-image-initrd are broken on non-x86_64 architectures.

Hi Guillaume,

thanks for your interest in the katacontainers packages.

FYI kata packages were recently added in Factory, and I gave priority to x86 as that's the only architecture I could run tests on.

Do you plan to add tests in OBS or in openQA for Kata ?

I'm adding Penny in Cc, she's a kata contributor for the ARM architecture, as she kindly accepted to help us getting packages working for aarch64.

...

The main reason is katacontainers-image-initrd requires kernel-kvmsmall which is available only on x86_64 and katacontainers package now requires it. So, should we use kernel-default on other archs, or should we add kvmsmall to kernel flavors on non-x86_64?

It would be preferable to have kvmsmall flavor for non-x86 too. That's what I started to do here: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1137361

Great.

However this ended up being less simple than expected. If you are knowledgeable about the topic, I'm looking for help :-)

I will Cc some people on the bsc, if they have time to do it, or at least to review some changes.

I have updated katacontainers-image-initrd to use the default flavor, and it is now compiling on all architectures: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:kubic/katacontainers- image-initrd It should be available in Factory shortly.

Awesome, thanks!

Marco, when you update a package, please do not break all non-x86_64 archs.

Does having a package in Factory not building on non-x86_64 archs cause any problems?

Yes, because openSUSE:Factory:ARM and openSUSE:Factory:PowerPC are just links to openSUSE:Factory. So, if you update a package to Factory which breaks aarch64 or ppc64, then it is broken in linked projects. Thanks, Guillaume

Thanks Marco

Thanks, Guillaume
