Why wasn't it tested? Good question. Why does this suddenly depend on Factory?
IIRC this was changed March 23rd based on your announcement that there are issues with 2.3.0-rc0.
openSUSE:Factory:ARM uses qemu-linux-user from Virtualization, which means that if there were a breakage we should've heard that much earlier. If that is silently changed behind my back, blame yourselves.
Its unfortunately not immediately noticeable that qemu-linux-user is broken, since packages never end up in the "failed" state (this was a thinko from our discussion yesterday), since the build service thinks its a bad worker and restarts the job on a different host, only to fail there the same way. It is only noticed then by an admin seeing that the cluster is flooded with jobs that never succeed and other things get behind.
so I do recommend to do an automated testing outside the buildservice instead, which gives you notifications and enough time to fix so that the stuff that enters Factory is working.
Would it be possible to cross compile a small arm binary on x86 and run it through qemu-linux-user? Something like $ zypper in gcc-whatever qemu-something $ gcc somecode.c $ qemu-something a.out; echo $? That should be easy to run in openQA... cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Jennifer Guild, Dilip Upmanyu, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5; 90409 Nürnberg; Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
