livefs build jobs stay in status "needs building" for days

Asked by Heinrich Schuchardt on 2023-06-26

Dear colleagues,

I scheduled build jobs in https://launchpad.net/~xypron/+livefs/ubuntu/mantic/test but after 3 days they were still in status "needs building". I cancelled the builds and scheduled a new one. But again "needs building" and not scheduled. Do you know the cause?

Best regards

Heinrich

@sil2100 suggested that the builders need to be switched to "de-virt".

This is what I used to schedule the job:

start-livefs-build \
  --livefs=~xypron/+livefs/ubuntu/mantic/test \
  --ppa=~xypron/ubuntu/gnu-efi \
  --arch=riscv64 \
  --metadata subarch='"nezha"' \
  --metadata project='"ubuntu-cpc"' \
  --metadata imageformat='"ext4"'
