Launchpad itself

Please enable all builders on ppa:unity-api-team/dev-build-*

Asked by Marcus Tomlinson

Please could you enable the full range of architectures for the following PPAs:

ppa:unity-api-team/dev-build-1
ppa:unity-api-team/dev-build-2
ppa:unity-api-team/dev-build-3
ppa:unity-api-team/dev-build-4
ppa:unity-api-team/dev-build-5

We (The Unity API Team) require these PPAs for cross-building development branches for testing purposes. What we otherwise have to do is hog up release silos, or force a “Needs review” status on MPs (that are not actually ready for review) so that Jenkins can pick it up.

Done.

Please note two things:

 * This is probably just terminology, but this is *not* cross-compilation; PPAs don't in general do that. Rather it's native compilation on each architecture.
 * You must make sure not to add non-Canonical employees to ~unity-api-team, as non-virtualised PPAs like this aren't fully sandboxed.

Sorry, misuse of the term "cross-building". I have battled with cross-compiliation on desktop for some time so it slipped into my text.

Yes, this is an internal team, we will ensure that it remains that way.

Thanks Colin!
