Description Dennis Gilmore 2023-04-21 16:37:56 UTC
in Fedora 37 uname -i returns aarch64 and in fedora 38 it returns unknown

[root@martouf ~]# rpm -q coreutils
coreutils-9.1-7.fc37.aarch64
[root@martouf ~]# uname -i
aarch64
[root@hathor ~]# rpm -q coreutils
coreutils-9.1-11.fc38.aarch64
[root@hathor ~]# uname -i
unknown


both machines are the same type Nvidia Jetson Nanon Developer Kits, I have seen the same unknown behaviour on other hardware platforms 


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Dennis Gilmore 2023-04-21 16:40:26 UTC
"uname -p" exhibits the same behaviour  as "name -i"

Comment 2 Kamil Dudka 2023-04-21 20:29:59 UTC
The options have been documented as non-portable since 2015:

Please use `uname -m` to print hardware class.  See bug #2121153.
