| #689 kernel plugin: kernel targets depending on debarch | snapcraft | merged | Merged. Updates the kernel plugin to select image targets based on debarch, enabling multi-architecture kernel builds from a single snapcraft.yaml. Validated for amd64, arm64, and armhf. | |
| #1377 kernel plugin: add default targets per powerpc, ppc64el and s390x | snapcraft | merged | Merged. Adds default kernel targets for powerpc, ppc64el, and s390x to the kernel plugin, matching existing arm and x86 behavior. Author confirmed successful testing and snap builds. Closes LP #1700069. | |
| #1604801 kernel plugin: pick the correct kernel-image-target per architecture | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Closed without resolution or implementation. The request for dynamic architecture-based kernel-image-target selection in the snapcraft kernel plugin was abandoned. | |
| #1148 kernel plugin: if dtb target == NULL and arch == (arm||arm64), build and install all dtbs | snapcraft | merged | Merged.
