Stop building Atomic Dekstops for PPC64LE
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
Summary
We will stop building the Fedora Atomic Desktops for the PowerPC 64 LE architecture. According to the count me statistics, we don't have any Atomic Desktops users on PPC64LE.
Users of Atomic Desktops on PPC64LE will have to either switch back to a Fedora package mode installation or build their own images using Bootable Containers which are available for PPC64LE.
Owner
- Timothée Ravier, siosm@fedoraproject.org
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora Linux 42
- Last updated: 2025-01-06
- Announced
- Discussion thread
- FESCo issue: #3309
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
- Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
Detailed Description
Nothing more than the summary.
Feedback
None so far.
Benefit to Fedora
Not building for PPC64LE means less infrastructure load, less maintenance, less testing to be done. We can focus on the architectures where hardware is more easily available and where we have a lot of users already (i.e. x86_64 and aarch64).
Scope
- Proposal owners: Remove the ppc64le builds from the pungi & bodhi configs.
- Other developers: N/A
- Release engineering: #Releng issue number (TODO)
- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: N/A
Upgrade/compatibility impact
Users of Atomic Desktops on PPC64LE will have to switch back to a Fedora package mode installation or build their own images using Bootable Containers which are available for PPC64LE.
Note that this change is only about the Atomic Desktops images and installers and thus all the RPM packages will still be available for anyone to build images using the Bootable Container flow.
