Note for debian-wb-team: The problem with these builds is that they don't fail in the usual way where the buildd sends a log of the failed build ready for inspection, but that they just don't upload any new builds to d-i.debian.org and there is to my knowledge no log whatsoever to show the reason of this. > > Note that I don't have access anymore to any buildd (was retracted > without any notice) so I'm not very interested in pursuing why things > don't work anymore... This is indeed suboptimal. :-( Would it be possible to give some (ideally more than one person to not create bottlenecks) persons from the d-i team access to the buildds where d-i daily builds are built so they can investigate these issues themself? > > Note also that it doesn't seem that any are still being done the way I > originally set them up as none are from luk@<host> anymore... Can someone from the buildd team shed some more light on this. If this is documented somwhere and I just didn't find the right place you can also just point me to the docs. I'm also happy to just read the scripts actually triggering the builds. Are the builds scheduled by a cron job or is there something else scheduling the builds? > > On the buildds there was a separate chroot used to do the daily builds. > The daily builds were done like 'documented' in the repository of d-i, > nothing special. What do you mean by the "documented" way? Does it run some/all of the build targets in instaler/build or does it use the installer/debian/rules build-images target? Gaudenz -- Ever tried.
