[Bug 1586026] Re: Remove arm64 binaries for packages failing to build with Qt compiled with OpenGL ES

[Timo Jyrinki]

** Description changed:

  Summary of requested archive operations:
  
  On yakkety, remove arm64 binaries from the following source packages
  that would now fail the arm64 build if rebuilt:
  
  bino goldencheetah openscad ovito sdrangelove tulip vite
  
  Since Qt is now using OpenGL ES on arm64, Qt 5 applications directly
  using OpenGL features not available in the ES subset may have build
  failures since OpenGL ES headers are now used instead. Such applications
  didn't build on armhf either which has used OpenGL ES from the
  beginning. Similar to armhf, all or most arm64 hardware graphics (like
  Adreno, Mali) have only ES support.
  
  --- below is background regarding how the package list was created
  
  Qt build for arm64 recently switched to using OpenGL ES in yakkety,
  similar to armhf.
  
  I've output of packages building against Qt 5 (qtbase5-dev, qt5-qmake,
  qtdeclarative5-dev or qt5-default), and a list of packages failing to
  build on armhf - formerly from from http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/ and
  then again via launchpadlib.
  
  Combining those results in this list:
  itksnap
  klog
  libqglviewer
  mudlet
  sdrangelove
  sleepyhead
  thumbnailer
  tulip
  
  Of which I already knew tulip was affected. klog and thumbnailer seem
  false positive, making the following candidates of removing arm64
  binaries of:
  
  itksnap
  libqglviewer
  mudlet
  sdrangelove
  sleepyhead
  tulip
  
  To get absolutely everything, I got a list of all binaries depending on
  libqt5core5a, got the source package for them and cross-checked. This
  got me the list of the six above plus the following three:
  
  bino
  qwtplot3d
  vite
  
  However, rebuilding all of the nine resulted in discovery that not all
  that failed on armhf fail on arm64: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-
  service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-035/+packages
  
  The failures for 5 armhf packages seem to be not related to the choice
  of Qt's OpenGL configuration options, so the arm64 builds succeeded (in
  case of itksnap, would have succeeded if not for other FTBFS problem).

  goldencheetah # noticed manually first, but also gotten from this filtering
  openscad

  Of these goldencheetah openscad ovito failed arm64 rebuild.
