Attempting to rebuild python-rospkg on an aarch64 machine fails due to the following test: https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rospkg/blob/master/test/test_rospkg_os_detect.py#L365 I'm not sure if that means only the listed architectures are supported, or if this is just a sanity test and other known architectures should be added to that list.
It's just a sanity test. I'm kind of confused that the package appears to have built successfully as recently as november on s390 and arm koji, I guess there are/were non-secondary arch builders that build noarch packages? Anyway, I'll make a patch and submit a pull request to add the additional arches that Fedora supports: aarch64 ppc64le s390 s390x If you can think of any other uname -m strings let me know.

Currently, Fedora noarch packages are first built on primary koji (exactly which builder is luck-of-the-draw) then imported into secondary kojis without being rebuilt. However, for EPEL 7, ppc64le is in the process of being added to the primary koji, with aarch64 to follow in 2016. Therefore, in the very near future, epel7 noarch builds might end up built on one of the new arches, in which case a future build of this package will fail needlessly. The same would apply to Fedora builds should any of these arches be moved to the primary koji. > Anyway, I'll make a patch and submit a pull request to add the additional > arches that Fedora supports: > > aarch64 > ppc64le > s390 > s390x > > If you can think of any other uname -m strings let me know. I think that covers it. For the reasons stated above, please merge this into epel7 as well.
I already had to patch this test once in upstream to support armv7hl. I think that was about 2 years ago, though. They were largely supportive of the change. --scott
Yes, I saw you in the git blame when I was trying to figure out when this test was added :) I will apply the patch to epel 7 and rawhide, and let the rest of the branches be until the next upstream release. Upstream pull request at: https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rospkg/pull/95
