That's not enough. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, we need the
whole build environment built for i686, including all BuildRequires:.
That is probably still a small number of packages compared to the
complete fedora package set. So I'd expect "give koji a whitelist"
will work better than "blacklist in specfiles".
Also, there are tons of old closed-source i686-only games that depend
on
i686 libraries other than Wine or Steam.
That should be a rather small set of packages too, probably not much
beyond SDL and maybe mesa for the newer ones.
Anything which does *not* go that route to display stuff and tries to
talk directly to the hardware (hello svgalib) will most likely not work
anyway on modern hardware ...
take care,
