This sounds very intriguing! I have a few notes about this:
you might be interested in this (sadly stalled) upstream PR:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/1035 which adds better detection of
the currently running microarchitecture
once rpm gains the ability to automatically generate subpackages
(
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/1485), this could be completely
automated
I would suggest to use actual boolean dependencies instead of packageand:
Supplements: (libfoo1 and x86-64-v3)
And please, please make some noise about this and coordinate it with the other rpm
based distros, so that we don't end up with yet another SUSE-ism but instead lead the
innovation.
Heh, the places where you see your name pop up ;-)
Now, back to business: I think this project has great potential and
could allow rpm based distributions to ship optimized packages without
having to leave old hardware behind (like the fortunately abandoned
baseline increase proposal from a few years ago).
So anyone interested in this: hackweek is open to anyone and I think
that Antonio won't mind getting help ;-)
Cheers,
Dan
