Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
I see that the build server is idle from yersterday evening.
Maintenance?
Sort of. The ISP has IPv4 connectivity problems, so I stopped the buildbot. This way we do not have packages failing by mistake due to lack of IPv4 connectivity.
I already contacted the ISP, so hopefully its fixed soon. The API is also running on IPv4 at the moment, so that is also down. I'll try to move that to v6 as soon as I find time.
I got some error when updating, could this be the cause?
installing x265 (4.0-1) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=209-64' required by ffmpegyes, as rebuilds aren't working at the moment, you should comment out the alhp mirrors until the issue is solved.
(or not update until the issue is fixed and the rebuilds are done, but from a security standpoint, that is not ideal)
How portable is the buildserver infra? How difficult would it be to fire it up on a random VPS until the main one gets fixed? How much horsepower would that VPS need?
Buildserver is back online now.
But to answer your question, it would need to be v4 capable and at least 6-8 dedicated cores and >64GiB ram.
Wow, I managed to write my comment almost in the exact minute when the server came back online :D
I was considering setting up a stand-in as a one-time donation to the project, and I did some research. The specs you describe (8x v4 capable cores, 64GiB RAM) are available for a little under 100 EUR per month at a Hungarian hosting company I've used in the past (it helps that the EUR/HUF exchange rate has shot up recently...) Is that something the project could afford (from donations) for redundancy, or am I seriously out of touch? :D
That would obviously be nice, but as-is the donations do not even cover electricity costs for the one machine we do have.
I'm sorry to hear that, this project is awesome. Looking at the number of stars, I should've guessed it's known by far too few people. I just joined the tiny club of supporters for what it's worth.
Is everything going good with builds? Or there is a lot of queued jobs from the pause?
I'm looking on
linux-zenand it has status BUILT, but with lower version than Archlinux version. Shouldn't it be in QUEUED status? If I just need to wait, then sorry for my impatience.Status "built" means it finished building and is waiting to be moved. Packages are being moved live at the and of a build-cycle. As you can see on the status page, we still have ~550 packages to go in the current cycle.
Ah, underestand. Thank you for the explanation!
Closing this.
