#12995 SRPM builds assigned to i686 builders break with large packages

Reopen Issue

builds of rpms/cef have been randomly failing for a long time now, and I think I just realized why:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=139943406
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=140141812

Both of these failed builds were assigned to i686 builders (Koji says x86_64, but the dnf log shows i686 packages). Writing out the SRPM then fails. I'm pretty sure what's going on is that writing out RPMs with files >2G or >4G is broken on 32-bit platforms... (the Chromium source tarball is a bit over 4G).

My guess is that this is some configuration thing that can be fixed easily ... as soon as someone with the knowledge/privileges to change it can get to it. But might be wrong.

Also was mentioned on Matrix that cef is not using the heavybuilder channel and probably should be:

https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/ansible/blob/main/f/roles/koji_hub/templates/hub.conf.j2#_194

And come to think of it... probably also qtwebengine?

Well, the more things we add to the heavybuilder channel, the less useful it becomes for the things in it. In particular we only have 1 s390x heavybuilder, so we really really don't want to add anything that builds there. For aarch64 and x86_64 and ppc64le we have a lot more resources, so I guess we could add those in this case. :(

As to the underlying issue in this ticket... no idea whats going on there. Perhaps @mikem could look?

Note that CEF only builds for aarch64 and x86_64 (and if someone puts in a =
bunch of effort might be viable to build for ppc64le, but unlikely anything=
else)=2E

I'm surprised this hasn't come up before now.
I believe this PR should address the failure -- https://pagure.io/koji/pull-request/4519

I've added cef to the heavybuilder channel.

We will pick up the upstream fix on the next koji update.
