Description c.stackpole 2022-02-17 15:28:17 UTC

Description of problem:
boinc-client is not available on aarch64 systems. Per the following commit it is because webkit2gtk3 is missing:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/boinc-client/c/ce665e0e2c6d13c9648694568f80998a7c5e43e2?branch=rawhide

However, I see that as available now in appstream.

$ dnf info webkit2gtk3
Available Packages
Name         : webkit2gtk3

Is there still a reason to not include boinc-client? Or can this limitation be removed?

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf search boinc

Actual results:
On a aarch64 EL8 system with EPEL -
$ sudo dnf search boinc
== Name & Summary Matched: boinc ==
boinc-tui.aarch64 : Fullscreen Text Mode Manager For BOINC Client
$

Expected results:
On a x86_64 EL8 system with EPEL - 
$ sudo dnf search boinc
== Name & Summary Matched: boinc ==
boinc-client.x86_64 : The BOINC client
boinc-client-devel.x86_64 : Development files for boinc-client
boinc-client-doc.noarch : Documentation files for boinc-client
boinc-client-static.x86_64 : Static libraries for boinc-client

Comment 1 c.stackpole 2022-02-17 16:29:15 UTC

I can confirm. Pulled the src.rpm for boinc-client, extracted with rpmbuild, edited the SPEC to remove aarch64 from the exclude list, and ran `rpmbuild -ba boinc-client.spec`. After installing all the devel dependencies it built just fine and I'm running the boinc-client now on aarch64.

I do not see a reason for why aarch64 is still excluded from the build architecture for boinc-client.

Can someone please confirm my findings, and then remove the exclude?

Thanks!
