[Bug 1891460] Re: Add riscv64 to cross-targets

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Dimitri, or anyone else affected,

Accepted build-essential into focal-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/build-
essential/12.8ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: build-essential (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal

Title:
  Add riscv64 to cross-targets

Status in build-essential package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in build-essential source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed
Status in build-essential source package in Groovy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Unable to create cross-building chroot to cross-compile Ubuntu
  source packages for riscv64

  [Test Case]

   * Create a cross-building chroot, and attempt to cross build packages

   mk-sbuild --target riscv64 focal
   sbuild -d focal --host riscv64 hello_2.10-2ubuntu2

    Should produce riscv64 debs, like it does in groovy

  [Regression Potential]

   * Introducing new cross packages to riscv64 only affects cross-building to riscv64 and no other native/cross builds.
   * Rebuild of build-essential will trigger a few autopkgtests

  [Other Info]

   * During publication ensure that debs go into the right component!
  Specifically into universe like seen on
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/groovy/amd64/crossbuild-essential-
  riscv64/12.8ubuntu3

   * Fixed in groovy already, may require linux kernel from proposed
  (with correct matching headers across all architectures)
