Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Greetings all; Pursuant to the wiki instructions, I have made a buildbot entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, which contains: deb http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ stretch master-rtpreempt but an "apt update" claims it can't be found: E: Failed to fetch http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/stretch/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'master-rtpreempt/binary-arm64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) No arm64 builds yet? git won't update the clone I did back in October last year. Claims the Makefile has been modified. Of course it has, its been configured and built when jessie was installed. But now its got stretch on it, running xfce, surprisingly nicely. But it was a week of hell getting that far. But now that I know how, next time s/b easy. So how do I proceed? Thanks everybody. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

That is correct, the buildbot doesn't build/test/package on arm64 yet. The reason for that is that we don't have any arm64 buildslaves. We do have a couple of armhf (32-bit) buildslaves, running on Odroid U3 machines. They are super flaky and unreliable and account for about 90% of the headaches the buildbot produces. I don't want to add any more flaky little machines to take care of. What I want is a server-class arm64 board with several CPUs and a couple of gigs of RAM per CPU, to run virtual armhf and arm64 buildslaves on, just like how the x86 and amd64 buildslaves are managed. 8 CPUs and 16 GB RAM would be comfortable. Does anyone have first-hand experience with any hardware like that? > git won't update the clone I did back in October last year. Claims the > Makefile has been modified.

The configure script doesn't modify the Makefile, it creates non-tracked files that the Makefile reads. Any modifications to the Makefile must have been manual or accidental. You can see the contents of the change with this command: > git diff src/Makefile If the changes aren't important to you and you want to throw them away, use this command: > git checkout src/Makefile After that, see if there's anything else changed in your working tree: > git status If it's all clean, you can move forward with: > git fetch origin > git merge --ff-only origin/master (Assuming you're on master and you want to stay on master.) -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers ------------------------------ End of Emc-developers Digest, Vol 142, Issue 4 ********************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
