Description Doug Chapman 2007-10-09 20:19:17 EDT

Description of problem:
There was a recent change to pm-utils to make it depend on vbetool.  Since
vbetool is x86 specific this prevents pm-utils and hence the majority of the
gnome rpms since they depend on pm-utils.

I am unclear as to the "right" thing being pm-utils not depending on vbetool for
non-x86 OR gnome not depending on pm-utils but one or the other will be needed
in order for Fedora to work on non-x86.

I am running into this while trying to bring up Fedora on ia64 so I imagine
those working on bringing up sparc and arm on Fedora are seeing this as well.  I
also imagine this is an issue for ppc.

I am open to suggestions on how we can make this portable.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 pm-utils-0.99.4-3.fc8

worked OK in pm-utils-0.99.3-11.fc8

Comment 1 Doug Chapman 2007-10-09 21:33:49 EDT

After looking at the spec file I see that ppc and ppc64 are already accounted for:

%ifnarch ppc ppc64 
Requires: vbetool
%endif


Can we update this to include ia64 (and for that matter sparc and arm since I
know others are in the process of bringing up fedora on those arches as well). 
Or, perhaps it would be better to change this to something along the lines of:

%ifarch i386 x86_64  
However I am not sure if this is the correct syntax.
