#789 noarch/ExclusiveArch picks wrong arch on good builder
Closed: Fixed by tkopecek. Opened by tkopecek.

Reopen Issue

While PR #323 introduced picking builder by ExclusiveArch for noarch rpms, there is one place which can break it for builders supporting more archs (e.g. x86_64/i686). Inside buildArch handler is find_arch called and 'noarch' is propagated there which ends in random choice of supported archs.

I am always hitting this problem these days since the upstream for my packages (Eclipse project) has dropped support for 32bit arches :-(

@qwan that's the problem you met

Are there any plans to look at this? It's pretty much impossible to build my modules (tycho and eclipse) without hitting this problem, so I have to baby-sit the modularity builds pretty closely and that feels like a waste of my time... :-/

I have the same problem with wine-mono. It cannot be built on ARM hosts.

a workaround before fixing this issue:
Have a new buildtag which inherits current buildtag, and don't specify the failing arch

@mikem Any update on this ticket?

Assigning to @tkopecek

Can you give me links to some broken tasks? I can't reproduce it and it seems to behave correctly. noarch could be propagated there only if build tag doesn't contain requested architecture.

@mooninite That specfile has only ExcludeArch: %{power64} s390x s390 so, picking aarch64 is correct here.
