not at this moment =)
I can hardly imagine why it should ever be. Being disk-bound, and considering that even very old CPUs hardly have trouble keeping up with the much slower storage devices, I can't imagine a reason for ceph or anything portable across multiple architectures to tech to *demand* newer CPUs of any of the supported architectures. Hopefully there will always be some portable fallback to resort to.
Next in my wishlist is to try to fix the issues that I'm told are getting in the way of ceph's running on 32-bit x86. If anyone is familiar with them and could give me a brain dump to get me started, that would certainly be appreciated.
if you are able to pinpoint an FTBFS issue or bug while using Ceph on 32 bit platforms. i can take a look at it.
Oh, thanks, I didn't mean to burden anyone with that, it's just something that I care about and would be happy to undertake myself. I was just surprised that there weren't i686 ceph packages in Fedora 30, and found comments in the spec file suggesting it didn't work, but I didn't look into why yet. -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter he/him https://FSFLA.org/blogs/lxo Be the change, be Free!
