Hello,
I've been curious as to what causes the delays in arm snapshots from
being on a regular cadence compared to x86?
Also is there a place we can look to see what the delay might be if
someone wants to try and help or avoid creating duplicate bug reports etc
I think the delay on aarch64 lately is because of two things.
1. We enabled GCS (Guarded Control Stack), wich broke packages that were
requiered. One sollution was to trigger a full rebuild of the OS, which
takes it's time. Afterwards there were some packages that needed fixes
as well. Guillaume can probably give more detalis on that.
To see the status of the build, I use this project:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory:ARM
But maybe it's a different one, like :Staging or :ToTest
So again, Guillaume can give more insights.
2. Another problem was, that Grub2-BLS broke a lot of tests in openQA.
As long as the tests in openQA don't pass, we don't publish an update,
as we want to assure stability of the distro. You can find the update of
the openQA status here:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/3
Hope that's shed some light on this.
Of course, we are always seeking hands that help to either look into
build failures or fix openQA tests.
Regards,
Matthias
