Over the last couple of days I’ve noticed that armhf and arm64 builds appear to spend hours in “Building soon” purgatory before actually building.
The other architectures build in a few minutes as expected, but for some reason the ARM builds (which are what we actually need…) get stuck.
This morning I waited for a couple of hours for a build of one commit before giving up and submitting a new commit for building. That was about 45 minutes ago. This is the Launchpad page for the armhf build: https://launchpad.net/~build.snapcraft.io/+snap/908277a77436b2b858d32d6cd0bc859a-xenial/+build/391307 - currently due to “start in 46 minutes”. A few minutes ago it was due to “start in 30 minutes”, so that’s not looking like a promising trajectory.
Thanks for pointing me to that link; it’s helpful to have more insight into how the process is structured. I was concerned that was maybe there’s some kind of glitch - aside from builder resource constraints - that’s slowing things down, but looks like it’s just the latter. Interesting that the arm64 runners seem to be under so much more load than the other architectures.
