tewardis there a way to request temporary ARM builds on a PPA for testing purposes to make sure that it won't constantly FTBFS for a given release?23:38
tewardthe next question: to request ARM builds, do I have to be an admin of the team that owns the PPAs, or is being the primary package maintainer of the PPA enough?23:43
wgrantteward: I can enable qemu-user armhf and/or arm64 builds on your PPA.23:43
wgrantYou must be a member of the owning team.23:44
tewardwhich i am... granted the 'test' ppa would be one under my own namespace23:44
tewardwgrant: i need to test a single package upload once to see if it FTBFS for precise like I think it will - is that doable?23:44
teward(to a test PPA dedicated for this build test)23:44
wgrantThat's doable, but would it make more sense to have a PPA that you can just use for packages for which you want ARM builds?23:45
wgrantThere's no fundamental need for it to be one-off.23:46
tewardwgrant: indeed, but there's two problems.  (1) the nginx users want arm builds.  (2) i'm indifferent.  (3) nginx team owner is against it.23:46
tewardi have a solution though, can I give you two PPAs and you turn it on there, and if it consistently FTBFS then we just disable ARM builds going forward?23:46
tewardthe NGINX PPAs actually get packages in them after a staging PPA builds them (just a direct copy over)23:47
tewardwith the two PPAs being as follows; https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/ubuntu/nginx-devel-testing https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/ubuntu/nginx-stable-testing23:47
tewardwgrant: assuming, of course, ARM packages can be copied into a PPA without ARM builds enabled - i think it was proven it *can* be done in that manner, but i don't remember :P23:48
wgrantteward: Why on earth is the nginx team owner against it?23:49
tewardwgrant: no idea - MTecknology (the guy with Administrator status) has been "Why?" ever since the first request hit my email23:50
tewardultimately I maintain the PPAs, but meh23:50
wgrantAh.23:50
wgrantI've enabled armhf on both of those.23:50
tewardwgrant: thanks, assuming they build the binaries can be copied over without issue?23:50
wgrantThe binaries will copy fine to a PPA without armhf enabled. The flag just controls builds.23:50
tewardthanks23:50
tewardwgrant: this may sound a little silly, but is it possible to force a rebuild of the version of a specific source package that already is uploaded to the PPAs, or do I just need to upload again with no changes and a changelog entry saying "No changes - upload to run ARM builds only."23:51
teward'cause i'm happy to just push up a no-changes package, but if I can just force a rebuild of `nginx` on each of the supported releases, that saves me a little bandwidth23:53
wgrantteward: You need to upload a new version, or copy the version over itself.23:55
tewardwgrant: is it possible to copy the same version on top of itself in the same PPA, though?23:57
tewardor will it complain about insufficient version23:57
wgrantteward: That should work fine, as long as you elect to copy binaries.23:58
