riscv64 snap builds getting stuck in Needs building

Asked by Michał Sawicz

Hey,

Over the past few days we've seen a number of riscv64 snap builds stuck in Needs building state, for example now there's one stuck here:

https://launchpad.net/~mir-team/+snap/mir-test-tools-beta

It's been triggered 2 hours ago (we've seen them stuck for way more than that, when other builds triggered and completed during that time).

Those builders are emulated and thus slower than other architectures, so riscv64 often accumulates a queue. Feel free to let us know if and when you need specific builds to be prioritized.

Ah, I misunderstood, I thought you were talking about builds that had eventually got unstuck. Will investigate.

Right, yeah this is about those stuck indefinitely. The mentioned recipe still has the build stuck at 5h now.

The problem is that the source archive for that snap recipe (https://launchpad.net/~mir-team/+archive/ubuntu/rc) is marked as requiring virtualized builders and doesn't have riscv64 enabled, and snap builds will only be dispatched to non-virtualized builders such as the riscv64 ones if neither the snap recipe nor the source archive requires virtualized builders.

Am I OK to set up that PPA for riscv64? That would solve this problem, though you'd still have to cancel and re-request that particular build.

Gah. That makes perfect sense.

Yes, please enable riscv64 on that PPA as well, and on ppa:mir-team/release as well, please.

Would be good to have some feedback on the snap that that's the problem. Should I file a bug?

Done - you should be able to cancel and request that build now. And re a bug, sure.
