Title:
[SRU] Enable ppc64el for .NET 8 on Noble
Status in dotnet8 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in dotnet8 source package in Noble:
In Progress
Bug description:
Upload available in PPA: https://launchpad.net/~dotnet-
bootstrap/+archive/ubuntu/dotnet8.0.108-noble-stage2
[ Impact ]
* This SRU aims to enable the ppc64el architecture on .NET 8 targeting Ubuntu
24.04 (Noble Numbat). This architecture has already been enabled for .NET
8 on Oracular Oriole.
* This came up as a request from IBM [0] and is now part of the .NET team's
roadmap for the Oracular Oriole cycle.
* Per the changelog of the package in the PPA, the changes introduced in this
upload are only related to the enablement of ppc64el.
[ Test Plan ]
* On a ppc64el machine, run the steps outlined in the .NET SRU Test Plan
document [1].
[ Where problems could occur ]
* The changes introduced in this upload have already been tested by IBM [0]
in a PPA upload made available to them.
* ppc64el has also been enabled for .NET 8 on Oracular.
* The patches introduced to fix various FTBFS and autopkgtest failures on
ppc64el are only modifying parameters in unit test projects within the .NET
code-base as well as the autopkgtest testrunner code-base and its related
libraries. These should not impact "shippable" products that land in the
final binary packages.
* If a problem occurs, it would be limited to .NET on ppc64el and will show
up when using the product with normal day-to-day operations, which the test
plan should be able to reproduce.
[ Other Info ]
* The ppc64el build will require a bootstrap once it hits -proposed. The
bootstrap package has been prepared and is available in a PPA [2]. It will
be uploaded to the Ubuntu Bootstrap PPA by an Archive Admin once we're
ready to bootstrap.
* When this upload hits -proposed, the ppc64el build will stay in dependency
wait status until the bootstrap package is uploaded and the Launchpad team
triggers the bootstrap. The .NET team (Toolchains/Foundations) will drive
the coordination of these tasks once we're there.
