galera-4_26.4.5-1 failed to build on riscv64

[ottok]

I noticed that the galera-4 package version 26.4.5-1 failed to migrate form Debian to Ubuntu due to a build failure on Launchpad arch riscv64:

50%: Checks: 2, Failures: 0, Errors: 1
galerautils/tests/gu_fifo_test.c:74:E:gu_fifo:gu_fifo_test:0: (after this point) Test timeout expired

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/482041187/buildlog_ubuntu-groovy-riscv64.galera-4_26.4.5-1_BUILDING.txt.gz

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galera-4

The previous version did not fail to build, so this is a regression.

This bug still applies and has prevented 26.4.5-1 from entering the latest Ubuntu development release (to be released next month): https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galera-4

Same riscv64 issue also applies for galera-3: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galera-3

@ottok would it make sense to try to increase unit test timeouts for riscv64 builds as it is done for mipsel in debian/rules:

ifeq (mipsel,$(DEB_HOST_ARCH))
        export CK_TIMEOUT_MULTIPLIER=2
endif

This way we could find out of the test is just slow on that platform or is there deeper problem around.

Thanks, I'll try this.

Timeout seems like the culprint. Did multiple test builds at https://launchpad.net/~otto/+archive/ubuntu/mariadb/+builds?build_text=&build_state=all and they all worked now.

This was indeed just a timeout issue and after triggering a couple of rebuilds it passed. All good currently at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galera-4.

Since the timeout seems to happen often on different platforms, I decided to apply it anyway all the time: https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/galera-4/-/commit/cbd995fbb2c63a71fea3daff9f2cd9857a5feaf0
