Cannot release because of missing zesty s390x build

[Michi Henning]

We are in the process of releasing storage framework. Things are working just fine, except for s390x on zesty, where we get a dependency wait on libonline-accounts-qt-dev:

https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/2149/+packages

Could you release for s390x on zesty ASAP please? We can't land until that dependency is satisfied.

From conversation on IRC:

[11:40pm] dobey: there can't be online-accounts packages on s390x
[11:40pm] mardy: michi: so I was told that I should add a build dependency on upstart, in order to force my projects not to build on s390x
[11:40pm] michi: dobey: why not?
[11:41pm] michi: mardy: intersting, I didn’t now about that trick...
[11:41pm] dobey: michi: because online-accounts requires things which are not available on s390x to function
[11:41pm] michi: Aha.
[11:41pm] michi: OK. Fine with me.
[11:41pm] michi: So, how do we stop silo builds for s390x for storage-framework?
[11:41pm] michi: Use the same trick mardy is using?
[11:42pm] kgunn joined the chat room.
[11:42pm] mardy: michi: I *think* that it's not needed, since you are already depending on libonline-accounts-qt-dev, which does exist on s390x, but I might be wrong
[11:42pm] dobey: michi: which silo is this?
[11:42pm] michi: dobey: sec.

[11:44pm] dobey: michi: ah, so you don't need to add anything extra to s-f itself; we need to request an AA to delete the s390x storage-framework binaries from the zesty archiv

Interestingly, ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts is still building on xenial/s390x, where upstart is still available. So the bogus dependency isn't even having the intended effect.

slangasek deleted the zesty s390x packages for storage-framework and mcloud. There weren't any zesty s390x packages for keeper.

Automatic sign-off is there now, so closing this.
