Is there any reason why ppc64le is not supported? Other distro such as Debian has always been supporting ppc64le package. It would mean the world to the OpenPOWER community if this package is also built for ppc64le Reproducible: Always
IMHO the ExclusiveArch in this package is relict from the past. During the time more arches were added to it and IMHO it's obsoleted now. I will try to remove it and build for all supported arches.
It builds OK on ppc64 so I will keep it unrestricted. Is this packaage usable on ppc64? I.e. is there ACPI support working?
I thought ACPI is x86 thing.
I.e. ACPI 5.0 added support for the ARM, but I wasn't aware of the POWER support.
If ACPI isn't supported on POWER there is probably no point of enabling the package there, i.e. you could install the package there but it would be useless.
> If ACPI isn't supported on POWER there is probably no point of enabling the package there, i.e. you could install the package there but it would be useless. There are many softwares that implicitly depend on the presence of ACPI package (even though POWER has not supported ACPI yet), for example cosmic-desktop. Sure it might more ideal to go through all of them to introduce patches to exclude such requirement for POWER arch however I find that approach would introduce more custom patches causing more burden for maintainers. Therefore I believe the best solution is to get ACPI packaged for POWER.
OK, NP, I will enable it on POWER.

I am sure we don't want this change to propagate into RHEL via ELN, so it should at least be guarded with "%if %{fedora}" or similar. I am still not convinced removing the ExclusiveArch is a good idea, especially as it installs a completely useless service on some platforms (aka bigger attack surface), it's not just an unused library ... BTW acpid is now built also on s390x and useless there as well. In my opinion the users of acpid should be fixed instead.
IMHO if it builds and doesn't crash, we can ship it. The package isn't installed by default and the service is disabled by default. I can imagine situations where it could be used with the ACPI events emulator or linked from the qemu guest to read the host ACPI events. No problem to exclude it in RHEL.

IMO it could be "x86_64 aarch64 riscv64" for ELN/RHEL, ia64, x86 and arm are obsolete
(In reply to Dan Horák from comment #14) > IMO it could be "x86_64 aarch64 riscv64" for ELN/RHEL, ia64, x86 and arm are > obsolete OK, I updated it, I initially used what was originally there.
