Hi all,
let me request dropping the crosscrash package. This package was originally written by Bernhard Walle, most likely as a SLES project. Bernhard was later laid off during the "big SUSE layoff", and I took over the maintainership of the whole kernel dump infrastructure.
However, the crosscrash package has never reached maturity (the original goal was only partly met), it wasn't even publicly announced in the crash development list, let alone building its own community. Unsurprisingly, the code has been bitrotting over years, so it can't even open dumps of recent kernels. Since this package has no upstream, and I can't continue working on the project, I suggest the package be dropped.
As a replacement, I might package a 32-bit version of crash on 64-bit platforms. FYI this was the only combination that ever worked with crosscrash (64-bit dump on 32-bit host never worked, and neither did different endianity between the dump and host).
