Greetings, I'm trying to build Geany and the Geany Plugins for EPEL8 currently and stumble over an issue which seems to be quite special in some kind for aarch64 and s390x:     https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=43133907 Basically I merged the epel7 branch into the epel8 branch for that build, the geany-plugins-markdown plugin required webkitgtk4-devel so far: ``` %if 0%{?rhel} BuildRequires: webkitgtk4-devel %else BuildRequires: webkit2gtk3-devel %endif ``` I'm a bit confused and unsure how to proceed further as the build obviously worked fine for ppc64le and x86_64.

Exact same thing, less-confusing name. So there is no webkitgtk4 in RHEL 8. If webkitgtk4-devel is present in the buildroot allowing the build to succeed on any architecture, I guess something is wrong with the buildroot.

I don't think that's quite what happened though. It looks like there were no builds done at all for s390x and aarch64. It seems that ExcludeArch applies to the whole package and not a subpackage. If you want to just exclude a subpackage, you need to use %ifnarch, see: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/wxGTK3/blob/epel8/f/wxGTK3.spec#_46 Scott
