[Debian-salsa-ci] Discussion: autopkgtest support for ARM architectures

[aquilamacedo at riseup.net]

Hi everyone,

I've been working on enabling autopkgtest for ARM architectures (arm64,
armel, armhf) in salsa-ci through
https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/autopkgtest-lxc. Actually it is
straightforward to add them, but I'm a bit concerned about the cost of
supporting every release x every ARM arch

For instance, if we cover all:

forky, sid, rc-buggy, trixie, trixie-backports, bookworm,
bookworm-backports and bullseye

that's 8 codenames x 3 architectures = 24 new jobs

Maybe we could start with sid and trixie on ARM, since those will be the
most used suites, and later expand if needed.

What do you think?

Aquila,

Cheers
