Dear maintainer, we are going to drop i686 java packages in f37 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Drop_i686_JDKs your package (or maybe jsut some subpackage) is directly depending on java and is native. Please take care, and adapt your package to exclude java on i686. For your convenience, there was added macro %{java_arches}, including all arches java is available on, which you can use to ifarch-out java specific features out in i686 (on non-java arches). Although for plain java package, the change is as simple as https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/maven/c/520942645bfd1e4721dacd536a6ccbf80495a8ae?branch=rawhide, you can not use it. The ExclusiveArch: %{java_arches} is not going to work for you, because your package is not simple java application, and also non-java world depends on it. See exemplar PR: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/graphviz/pull-request/9#request_diff See more details eg in:: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2102298 See why in : https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2772 Please read carefully proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Drop_i686_JDKs Please see tracking bug for most up to date informations: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2083750 I'm terribly sorry to report this bug so late in f37 lifecycle. If you can, please handle this with priority.
PCL only depends on Java indirectly because of VTK. BR: java-devel was added to fix some issue with vtk-java: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pcl/c/9d2e6b0c88b46afc8bda3897a52b830f806404b4?branch=rawhide However, PCL does not use any of the vtk-java bits, it's just an issue of the imported VTK target. So very likely, this issue will be fixed once the Java issue has been tackled in VTK.
As an intermediate fix, I %ifarch'ed the BR for java-devel. This will only work once VTK gets rid of the VTK::Java target on non-java arches. Once this is done, pcl should not pull in any java dependencies on non-java arches anymore.
thax!
sounds reasonably.
