Trying to build cpufrequtils-008-2.fc15 fails on ppc:

Comment 1 Petr Šabata 2011-02-08 10:07:25 UTC 
The cpuid op code is only available on x86/x86_64.

Pre-008 versions cpufreq-aperf compiled cleanly since they used cpuid kernel driver (which wasn't available on ppc anyway). That's no longer the case; cpufrequtils-008 cpufreq-aperf utility uses its own cpuid call implementation.

Let's just not build cpufreq-aperf on ppc/ppc64.
Comment 2 Adrian Reber 2011-02-08 21:47:13 UTC 
Should I add the ExcludeArch: ppc ppc64 lines?
Comment 3 Petr Šabata 2011-02-09 13:48:01 UTC 
No, the rest of the utilities provided should work on ppc/ppc64. This is only about cpufreq-aperf.

A Makefile patch to exclude it from build is needed. I'll try to provide it soon.
Comment 4 Petr Šabata 2011-02-10 12:34:16 UTC 
Adrian,

I've just pushed some changes and built 008-4. I'm not going to post this as an update for obvious reasons.

Check out commit afec67817ca00400e201ea8dc9e74ffd9cfd051a. Does it work for you?

Petr
Comment 5 Adrian Reber 2011-02-10 15:50:26 UTC 
Thanks a lot. That is it. It was able to build it successfully.
