Request for armhf build of https://launchpad.net/~kamaji/+archive/ubuntu/opt-qt551-trusty

Asked by Keith Kyzivat

I am requesting an ARMHF build of the following PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~kamaji/+archive/ubuntu/opt-qt551-trusty

It is a copy of Stephan Binner's Qt 5.5.1 PPA for Trusty Tahr. His PPA has builds for amd64 and i386, but not armhf.
On my local vagrant environment with qemu-user-static chroot environment, Qt takes roughly 30 minutes to build.

As this is built off an existing PPA, and Qt 5.5.1 is known to compile fine for the armhf platform - this should result in a successful build.

The PPA has been configured to do an armhf build presently, but seems it's waiting for approval before any jobs get submitted.

It's not waiting for approval; you just uploaded the packages before you enabled armhf. Build records aren't automatically created for existing packages.

The easiest way to create the armhf build records is to copy the packages over themselves. Visit https://launchpad.net/~kamaji/+archive/ubuntu/opt-qt551-trusty/+packages, select all the relevant packages, copy to and from the same archive and series, and copy existing binaries. Then the armhf builds will show up.

I'll give that a try. However, that answer seems to be womewhat counter to the following information:

https://dev.launchpad.net/CommunityARMBuilds

"This policy is to describe how the community can request ARM builds on their PPAs.

You may request an ARM build on your PPA if

Your build takes 4hrs or less to build

To make this request please file an question on Launchpad and it will be dealt with. Note requests are dealt individually and Launchpad reserves discretion on the final say."

That documentation was outdated. I've revised it.
