Description of problem: chromium fails to build from source for Fedora EPEL7 on RHELSA-7.2. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): chromium-53.0.2785.143-1.el7 How reproducible: consistently Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a RHELSA-7.2 host: mock -r epel-7-aarch64 chromium-53.0.2785.143-1.el7.src.rpm 2. 3. Actual results: Fails to build with the following error: Error: No Package found for libatomic Expected results: Not attempt to build for AArch64 (ExcludeArch). Additional info: libatomic is provided by gcc for most architectures, but support for libatomic is not included for AArch64 in gcc-4.8. chromium should exclude arch 'aarch64' until support is included in gcc (est. 4.9).
I'm pretty sure this goes deeper than libatomic. It is possible to get chromium building for arm/aarch64, but I would need time and shell access to the fastest possible aarch64 system to make the necessary changes. Chromium is not tiny. :/
Understood. I checked the spec file, and it is already: ExclusiveArch: x86_64 i686 so my request to exclude AArch64 is not needed. Getting chromium to build on AArch64 is probably best handled in Fedora/Rawhide, which already has newer tools (and libatomic for AArch64). Unfortunately, the fastest aarch64 systems today are in short supply, but I believe more/faster hardware will be available soon. Perhaps we can revisit this then.
This package has changed maintainer in the Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.
RHEL on aarch64 is EOL so closing
