The non-modular case of "build packages locally in mock" has a proper workaround.
Hover, what about the modular case? How does one locally debug a i686 modular build failure?

Note that I wanted to say:

If we have no multilib in modules (AFAIK we don't we actually do according to @psabata), maybe we can stop building modules on i686 altogether.

However I've realized that when/if we enable modular repos in the buildroot, this will break all i686 builds that BR something modular (unles we keep it in Fedora proper forever, which we want to avoid).

So the proper question is: How does this collide with Modules in buildroot enablement?

I'm not sure. Perhaps someone could describe how you do that now?

Yes, we will need to keep making i686 modules for this reason, but thats fine, they don't need a public/mirrored i386 tree, they would use the koji buildroot.

Can we get this on the agenda for tomorrow's meeting? or it's still due to wait?

I guess we should. Sorry for not including it.

+1 to the change anyway.

We've talked about this on today's meeting:

AGREED: Defer decision until we know answer for the "modularity local build" question or until 2 weeks before the beta freeze (whatever happens first) (+7, 0, -0) (ignatenkobrain, 15:34:37)

@psabata I wanted to ask at Flock but then I needed to leave sooner. Any new information regarding the modularity local builds with Koji repos?

We discussed this doing todays' FESCo meeting (2019-08-19):
AGREED: Approved. Change owner has to make sure somebody updates the docs somewhere. (+6, 0, 0)
