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 Version : 2.32.3 Release : 2.el8 Architecture : aarch64 Size : 15 M Source : webkit2gtk3-2.32.3-2.el8.src.rpm Repository : appstream Summary : GTK Web content engine library URL : http://www.webkitgtk.org/ License : LGPLv2 Description : WebKitGTK is the port of the portable web rendering engine WebKit to the : GTK platform. : : This package contains WebKit2 based WebKitGTK for GTK 3. $ dnf search webkit2gtk3 == Name Exactly Matched: webkit2gtk3 == webkit2gtk3.aarch64 : GTK Web content engine library == Name & Summary Matched: webkit2gtk3 == webkit2gtk3-devel.aarch64 : Development files for webkit2gtk3 webkit2gtk3-jsc.aarch64 : JavaScript engine from webkit2gtk3 webkit2gtk3-jsc-devel.aarch64 : Development files for JavaScript engine from 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 boinc-manager.x86_64 : GUI to control and monitor boinc-client boinc-tui.x86_64 : Fullscreen Text Mode Manager For BOINC Client $ Additional info:
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!
