Since a few days ago I cannot build an image for R7800 from master: the build fails with a lot of errors like below. I checked and that packages are indeed missing: is there a way to check the status of the build to know when it is in a better shape?
Strange. I can't figure out any recent change that would make such a wide array of core packages to fail in phase2 buildbot, as those faillogs currently imply for most/all targets.
@fantom-x
Any recollection of how long you have noticed this? 2-3 days? or 1-2 weeks?
Not sure if it matters any more, but it was failing for up to a week. Strangely, I was able to build (with image builder) the firmware for a Turris Omnia from master, but not for a r7800.
Yeah, if the reason for breakage was lua 5.3 introduction to OpenWrt sources, it was since last Friday, 28th of June. (and then it depends a bit on luck, how the packages have got built in the buildbot for various targets.)
Likely temporary error.
iptables has been updated to 1.8.3 a few hours ago, so libip4tc0 has been upgraded and has been compiled by the phase1 buildbot (for armvirt) but phase2 buildbot has maybe not built the updated luci-app-statistics module after the iptables bump (so the dependency may be to wrong version).
I assume that the error will get fixed automatically in the next build rounds.
Ps. I build always my own builds from scratch. Much easier, as there is no dependency from the buildbot's cycle.
I used to do that too, but it is time consuming. I really like using the image builder now and it only takes 5..10 minutes. I would rather be using 19.07, but it is not available so I have to use master to get the switch SNMP counter fix. There are not any customization I need to do any more.
