If being able to build everything in virtualized ppas with armhf support would help solve the release issues for Kubuntu, I believe there's room for giving Kubuntu a bigger chunk of time on the virtualized builders. AIUI, there are several issues at present that would prevent Kubuntu staging its builds of the 6-month KDE releases in ppas: - Kubuntu's build requirements would exceed the advertised community usage limits for virtualized armhf ppas - KDE doesn't build under current qemu due to qemu bugs - Binaries can't be copied from virt ppas to the archive, so rebuilds would be required when promoting - It's not clear if there's a ppa schema that would meet the Kubuntu community's needs, or what that schema would be Does that sound accurate? None of these issues seem insurmountable to me; if the Kubuntu devs decide this is the right way to go, I don't think it's out of reach. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
