Description Paul Whalen 2017-11-07 16:31:30 UTC

Description of problem:
armhfp install fails due to missing 'syslinux-extlinux'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-Modular-27-20171105.n.3

Comment 1 Stephen Gallagher 2017-11-07 16:36:21 UTC

Looks like something we probably need in the 'host' module.

Comment 2 Paul Whalen 2017-11-07 16:39:56 UTC

Proposing as a blocker for Server Beta, extlinux-bootloader is needed for installation on armhfp. 

extlinux-bootloader-1.2-3.fc27 was included for the F27 'Classic' Beta

Comment 3 Stephen Gallagher 2017-11-07 16:41:24 UTC

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/27/ReleaseBlocking#Modular_Server doesn't list the armhfp media as blocking, so I'm -1 blocker but +1 FE, since it prevents installation on an entire arch.

Comment 4 Petr Šabata 2017-11-07 17:01:22 UTC

syslinux-extlinux is archful and only exists on i686 & x86_64.

Should it exist on armhfp?  Perhaps the package maintainer could advise.

Comment 5 Petr Šabata 2017-11-07 17:03:33 UTC

Note that extlinux-bootloader and syslinux-extlinux are two different packages, both binary and source.

extlinux-bootloader is really missing from Host.  It can / should be added but I'm unsure about we should do about syslinux-extlinux on armhfp.

Comment 6 Petr Šabata 2017-11-07 17:19:07 UTC

Okay, so it turns out extlinux-bootloader virtual-provides syslinux-extlinux.
I'll add that package to Host.

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2017-11-07 17:22:30 UTC

Agreed, -1 blocker, +1 FE. Server has never had ARM as a release-blocking arch, for a reasonable reason: there's very little 32-bit ARM hardware that's appropriate for Server use.

Comment 8 Petr Šabata 2017-11-07 18:08:33 UTC

Fixed in host:f27:20171107172526.

Comment 9 Tim Flink 2017-11-07 18:34:51 UTC

-1 blocker, +1 FE due to non-blocking arch for server, would be good to have, though.

Comment 10 Dusty Mabe 2017-11-07 18:40:46 UTC

+1 FE

Comment 11 Adam Williamson 2017-11-07 20:32:57 UTC

That's enough votes to declare RejectedBlocker, AcceptedFreezeException.

Comment 12 Stephen Gallagher 2017-11-08 13:21:51 UTC

This is fixed, pending a successful compose. I'll move it to ON_QA at that point for verification.

Comment 13 Stephen Gallagher 2017-11-08 13:28:57 UTC

Should be fixed in https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/27/Fedora-Modular-27-20171108.0/compose/Server/armhfp/iso/Fedora-Modular-Server-dvd-armhfp-27_Beta-1.3.iso

Please test and confirm.

Comment 14 Paul Whalen 2017-11-08 17:42:45 UTC

Fixed with Fedora-Modular-27-20171108.0 compose, install on armhfp now succeeds.
