Bug 696134 – Keyword dev-python/vdirsyncer app-misc/khal ~arm ~arm64

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andriy Utkin (RETIRED) 2019-10-03 14:45:14 UTC]

Hi,

I have used these packages on both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM installations of Gentoo, with the same level of success as on amd64.

The only runtime issue is that on a rare occasion vdirsyncer hangs, but the same happens on amd64, too. Otherwise it's all great software and works well.

Sorry, I haven't realized there's test aspect.
I will run the tests and come back.

[Comment 3 Andriy Utkin (RETIRED) 2019-10-07 21:43:26 UTC]

From the package list, only vdirsyncer fails tests, due to platform-independent bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/668360 .

vdirsyncer is in a maintainership crisis, but there is a promising revival in https://github.com/spk/vdirsyncer/commits/fix-build-style .

Feel free to push back on this. My only argument _for_ keywording it is that in practice it works really well on arm and arm64. If you'd like to see this mess cleaned up first, let's drop vdirsyncer and stabilize only khal and deps, and I'll come back on this once I (or somebody else) make vdirsyncer ebuild use a well-maintained origin or apply the right patches.

Andrey,

For new packages to get an ~arm64 keyword they need to build and 'pass' their test suits. 

'Pass' in this context means no worse than amd64, not pass clean.
At least, that's what I have been doing and I've not upset anyone yet.

arm is a horse of a different colour.

[Comment 5 Aaron Bauman (RETIRED) 2019-11-26 20:34:46 UTC]

FEATURES=' test' failed for =dev-python/vdirsyncer-0.16.7
FEATURES=' test' failed for =dev-python/click-threading-0.4.4

I have stabilized everything else for arm64.

Please fix the tests or RESTRICT them as you know they are bad.

Once good, please CC arm64 back.

~arm keyworded

Wrong version of app-misc/khal has been keyworded.
