[PPA] Please provide PPA builds/packages for armhf

[hackeron]

Hi there,

With the new Raspberry Pi 2 being quad core with 1GB of ram, it makes a fantastic low cost/power server and it would be great to have Nginx packages compiled for it.

I tried compiling Nginx/Stable on Utopic and it compiles out of the box with no changes at all. The commands I ran are:

# echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/stable/ubuntu utopic main' > /etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get update
# apt-get build-dep nginx
# apt-get source nginx
# cd nginx-1.6.2
# dpkg-buildpackage

Here is the full output from these commands: https://gist.github.com/hackeron/adcc9e9f8e744760ed6c

From my understanding, it should therefore not require any extra work to enable these packages to be compiled by launchpad?

Thank you :)

The staging PPAs are now ARM enabled and are building. I was able to get ARM builds enabled there. If it doesn't fail to build, I will copy the armhf binaries over to the main PPAs.

The staging PPAs are as follows:

STABLE: https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/ubuntu/nginx-stable-testing/+packages
MAINLINE: https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/ubuntu/nginx-devel-testing/+packages

If there are any red X icons or gears with a red circle and a white dash, that indicates a failed build. Where there are green checkmarks, means everything built fine. I will check on these builds over time, to see if/when they complete. If I get any FTBFS errors, then I'll consider whether ARM builds are sensible going forward.

Fantastic! Thank you! - from what I can tell, all the builds build successfully?

I've issued a copy of the ARM binaries from the staging PPAs to both of the main PPAs. As soon as I confirm the PPAs are updated with the armhf binaries I will mark this Fix Released.
