Discussion of Secondary Arches

  • Blizzard proposed ARM as a secondary Fedora architecture
  • Community run under FESCo following the same processes as other secondary arches
  • Additional discussion around whether PPC should remain a primary architecture
  • It is valuable to Fedora as a whole to have both big and small endian architectures in active use and testing.

Decisions:

  • PPC will remain a primary architecture until:

1. secondary arch process is finalized 1. there are no other secondary architectures

  • Board approves and welcomes ARM as a secondary architecture
