tewardgeneral question: why do PPAs not get armel enabled or arm64, when an ARM build request turns on armhf?12:46
tewardjust looking for a more 'authoritative' answer than what i've heard so far.12:46
tewardnot that i need armel or arm64 builds, i'm just asking :)12:46
antivirtelhere we are both teward12:47
cjwatsonteward: Because they're relatively rarely needed at the moment, unreliable in various ways due to using qemu-user-static, and resource-heavy due to using qemu-user-static.12:47
tewardantivirtel: yes, i know, but i'm not dragging our discussion into here when i'm waiting for the pros to respond :p12:47
cjwatsonteward: When we have decent ARM hardware in that cloud then this will probably change.12:48
tewardcjwatson: that's what i thought.  antivirtel and I were in an argument about ARM builders in #znc12:48
teward(for the PPAs)12:48
wgrantarmel is pointless nowadays.12:48
tewardwhich is my argument xD12:48
wgrantAnd arm64 is very unreliable on qemu-user.12:48
tewardwgrant: and armel is pointless why?  So you can explain to antivirtel why armv6 and armel are bad :p12:49
wgrantWe will probably allow users to opt into arm64 and armhf themselves soon.12:49
teward(since armv6 and armhf don't get along)12:49
wgrantOur armel is not ARMv6.12:49
cjwatsonarmel was discontinued as of Ubuntu 13.04, so it would only be usable at all in lucid (EOLing) and precise.12:49
antivirtelsure, but Raspberry Pi has armv6... yeah ^12:49
wgrantOur armel is still ARMv7.12:49
cjwatsonAnd that too.12:49
wgrantIt's just soft-float.12:49
antivirtelso wgrant what about ARMv6, there is no compiler at all for that?12:49
cjwatsonYou're out of luck.12:49
cjwatsonThe only way to do it would be to basically stand up a copy of the entire compiler and library stack you need in a PPA.  But really, Launchpad isn't likely to be the easiest way to do that because of how Ubuntu's ARM support is set up.12:50
antivirtelI'm not :D I've built it already, I just need a hosting system... I'm planning to use some local thing, if you can't support it...12:51
cjwatson(And even if you did that, it would be awfully easy for ARMv7 stuff to creep in.)12:51
cjwatsonI mean you're out of luck in Launchpad.12:51
antivirtelah, ok, sure12:51
cjwatsonIf Ubuntu supported ARMv6, we likely could too, but we're pretty closely linked to what Ubuntu supports.12:52
antivirtelbtw, I'm requesting ZNC maintainers to maintain a private ARM (or other archs too) repos, so users won't need to compile it...12:52
antivirtelcjwatson yeah, we're a bit offtopic with Raspbian, but it would be the best way12:53
tewardantivirtel: as I was saying in #znc, consider ZNC maintainers maintain the upstream repository - they don't maintain the Debain / Ubuntu /Raspbian package sets12:55
tewardantivirtel: nor would they necessarily have the knowledge to stage that12:55
tewardbut that's offtopic here, so i'll drift back to the shadows and fuss with my postgres12:55
mancdazis there some way to target a bug at a release milestone, after it's been released?13:29
mancdazthe milestone doesn't appear in the list any more13:29
antivirtelcjwatson I have this repo: https://code.launchpad.net/~antivirtel/znc/znc-trunk -- can't you just add that recipie code, what can build it? I'll upload the whole compiler, if you want13:39
antivirtelYou have review access... I hope it will enough13:39
cjwatsonantivirtel: You're asking for weeks of work.13:42
cjwatsonNo, sorry.13:42
tewardmancdaz: I don't think the 'milestones' exist anymore but you would ideally add a bug task for the specific Ubuntu release, if it's an Ubuntu package bug.13:43
mancdazI found it - the milstone was marked as 'inactive'13:43
mancdazmeaning nobody could target new bugs at it13:43
tewardyes that's going to happen.13:43
antivirtelcjwatson isn't it that easy as the usual way: ./configure; make ?13:43
mancdazteward thanks. managed to make it active and target some other bugs that should have been included13:44
cjwatsonNot when you would need a whole new compiler and library stack to make it go, no.13:44
antivirtelah, ok, thanks13:44
cjwatsonAnd I'm afraid that with three full-time engineers the Launchpad team does not have time to do packaging work for you :-)13:44
antivirtelok13:45
sergio-br2anyone to enable arm build for me? --> https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/26600822:49
