Optimizing OVERLAY handling on android-build

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, There were increasing Android build times during last month again (going over 3.5hrs). Yesterday, I re-created the seed, but that didn't improve times match. I did more stats on builds and it turns out that we spend almost 1.5hrs in copying ever-growing overlay collection to the slaves via sluggish CopyToSlave Jenkins plugin. That's issues known for at least half-year, and was in queue for being reworked. I didn't work on android-build closely for few months, but now that I'm back on maintenance, I'd like to start with fixing this long-overdue issue. The idea was to pull all the needed overlay, straight to a slave. The complication here was handling of license protected files. ci.linaro.org had the same issue, and used a script to handle automatic downloads for some time. However, as of now, it was switched to other process and the script git bitrotted with recent linaro-license-protection codebase changes. I took a look at revamping it, but then though that it may be a good idea to use simpler and more explicit process, following closely click-thru usage. So, if you want to use a license-protected binaries in a build, you'd need to specify: ACCEPT_LICENSE=<license_id> Where <license_id> is id under which license is registered in linaro-license-protection. One good way to figure it out is to read the license page at all (well, as HTML source, the id is included in some links). Wording of variable name (as well as of commands in underlying implementation) is also explicit to point that its usage construes license acceptance. I prototypes these changes using https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~pfalcon/panda-jb-gcc47-tilt-tracki… which is down to 2h10m build time. I'm ready to migrate all builds tomorrow, while we're early in cycle start. Please let me know if there're any issues with approach or proposed migration timeframe, otherwise let's make android-build rock again.

Is guerrit at fault?

by Mathieu Poirier

Good afternoon everyone. This is most likely a case for Paul but roping everyone in just in case. I was trying to push libnl2.0 to [1] but got this weird error message [2]. I googled the issue and I am not the only one facing this problem [3]. A temporary work around seems to be to forge the committer identy in the project's "refs/meta/config", which for us will most likely be "refs/for/linaro_libnl2_0" Have you guys seen something similar? Thanks, Mathieu [1]. http://android.git.linaro.org/git-ro/platform/external/libnl.git (linaro_libnl2_0) [2]. https://pastebin.linaro.org/view/663d784c [3]. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/repo-discuss/iaE6lF-DIwg

New project directory and branch

by Mathieu Poirier

Good evening, Turns out libnl 1.0 isn't enough for Google - they need 2.0 otherwise other things break. I got libnl 2.0 to compile on kitkat and now I need a project for it under platform/external. The 1.0 version was simply labelled "libnl". This one is version 2.0 so I suggest "libnl20" or "libnl2". I don't have a firm opinion on the matter, simply do what you think is most appropriate. I will also need a branch to push to in that repo - I'm fine with following the same convention that we had for "libnl". Thanks, Mathieu

linaro_android_4.4.2, linaro_android_4.4.2_juice

by Bernhard Rosenkränzer

Hi, Android 4.4.2 was tagged a couple of hours earlier -- I've rebased our tree and created linaro_android_4.4.2/linaro_android_4.4.2_juice branches. My test build is still running, so no guarantees (yet) - but looking at the diffs, I think this is fairly low risk, and we may want to consider cutting the release from linaro_android_4.4.2. ttyl bero

ANN: linaro-android-build-tools repo migrated to git

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, With new git server launch, Infra team is going to migrate all our Bazaar repositories to git.linaro.org . Yesterday, linaro-android-build-tools repo was migrated to https://git.linaro.org/infrastructure/linaro-android-build-tools.git (android-build jobs were migrated to use new repo). As Android Team submits patches to it from time to time, please note the new location. For submitting patches, Gerrit at https://review.linaro.org is used. You can use raw git commands to submit Gerrit changes, but now there's a "git-review" tool which simplifies that much (a-la "repo" tool). See https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/LAVA/Infrastructure/CodeReviewServer#Pushi… for more info. While we get used to new process, feel free to ping via IRC/email if you submit a review ;-). Other repos are in queue for migration too. Due to other priorities, there's no short-term ETA, but we're going to work on that Dec-Jan. -- Best Regards, Paul Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog
