Describe the issue

Likely after branching, something was missed. AFAIK noarch builds should never happen on i686.

Yet https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=142192312 happened.

When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

N/A

When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

When we remove i686 completely.

If we cannot complete this, what is the impact? [Dependencies/Blocker]

noarch packages with dependencies not available on i686 will randomly/arbitrarily FTBFS on rawhide.

Yeah, apparently we didn't set this when branching. ;(

➜  koji taginfo f44-build | grep noarch_arches
  noarch_arches : 'aarch64 ppc64le x86_64'
➜ koji taginfo f45-build | grep noarch_arches

We should set it and add it to the script used in branching to create all the tags/targets.

PRIMARY_ARCHES="i686 x86_64 aarch64 ppc64le s390x"

Primary arches are also defined correctly :/

"${KOJICLI}" add-tag --parent "f${release}-build" --arches="${PRIMARY_ARCHES}" "f${release}-infra"

We already have this defined in our script not sure why it got missed.

I'll look into why these were not reflected already.

no. We do not want all those. ;)

Just 'x86_64 aarch64 ppc64le'

We don't want i686 because some packages no longer ship i686, and we are only keeping it around for some archfull packages.

We don't want s390x because it's under a lot of load, not in the same datacenter and will make those jobs slow.

@kevin: I don't understand, what are we missing here?

We need to modify https://forge.fedoraproject.org/releng/tooling/src/branch/main/release-process/mass-branching/fedora/create_koji_release_tags.sh to do this.

It should have a 'NOARCH_ARCHES='x86_64 ppc64le aarch64''

Then, when adding build tags, those calls should get a '-x noarch_arches={$NOARCH_ARCHES}' added to the add-tag call.
