So what should architecture should we use for a program that runs on x86, x86_64, ppc64, and ppc64le without modification, but doesn't run on aarch64? There is no mechanism as far as I know for a "almostnoarch" package.
In this case, however, the package itself is completely noarch. One of its testing dependencies, though, although it works on most architectures, makes assumptions about how binary data is stored that means it doesn't work on aarch64. But this package has no control over that.
perhaps I misunderstand something special here but "doesn't run on aarch64" versus "the package itself is completely noarch" is a contradiction.
I think when a program does not work on all architectures its package cannot be "noarch".
Again, this package runs just fine on all architectures. However, the TESTS do not run on all architectures. And even that isn't because of the tests themselves, but rather one of the dependencies of the tests has a bug on some architectures. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
