Bug#880883: FTBFS on arm64: test suite times out (on arm-arm-04)
Source: glib2.0
Version: 2.54.2-1
Severity: serious
As can be seen at
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=glib2.0&arch=arm64
glib2.0 FTBFS on arm64 quite often.
Looking through the build history, arm-arm-04 (and to a lesser extent
arm-arm-01) seems to be much more susceptible to build failures.
I only count one successful build but 5 failed builds for arm-arm-04.
When the build was retried on a different host, it seems to have
succeeded in the past.
Running the build on a porter box (amdahl), I was able to successfully
compile the package.
Afaics, arm-arm-01 and arm-arm-04 are slower hosts judging by the build
times. Maybe that contributes to the test suite failures.
As the glib2.0 maintainers don't have access to those systems (or slower
arm buildds), it would be great if the arm porters can investigate this.
Given the importance of glib2.0, having reliable builds on arm64 would
be good.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
