Hey,
So here's a problem I have. Today if I'm in a branch that has a commit that's not in it's upstream branch (so lets say I'm testing a bunch of patches I grabbed from patchwork in a local branch that knows master is the upstream) and I do:
export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=1649712313 ./tools/buildman/buildman -o /tmp/chromebook_samus -devl --step 0 -b testing -SBC chromebook_samus Building 2 commits for 2 boards (2 threads, 8 jobs per thread) 01: linux/mtd/mtd.h: Add <dm/ofnode.h> x86: w+ chromebook_samus +(chromebook_samus) Image 'main-section' is missing external blobs and is non-functional: intel-descriptor intel-me intel-refcode intel-vga intel-mrc +(chromebook_samus) Image 'main-section' has faked external blobs and is non-functional: descriptor.bin me.bin refcode.bin vga.bin mrc.bin +(chromebook_samus) +(chromebook_samus) Some images are invalid 02: HACK x86: + chromebook_samus +(chromebook_samus) binman: Node '/binman/rom/intel-descriptor': Cannot find Intel Flash Descriptor (FD) signature +(chromebook_samus) make[1]: *** [Makefile:1101: all] Error 1 +(chromebook_samus) make: *** [Makefile:177: sub-make] Error 2 01: linux/mtd/mtd.h: Add <dm/ofnode.h> x86: w+ chromebook_samus_tpl +(chromebook_samus_tpl) Image 'main-section' is missing external blobs and is non-functional: intel-descriptor intel-me intel-refcode intel-vga intel-mrc +(chromebook_samus_tpl) Image 'main-section' has faked external blobs and is non-functional: descriptor.bin me.bin refcode.bin vga.bin mrc.bin +(chromebook_samus_tpl) +(chromebook_samus_tpl) Some images are invalid 02: HACK x86: + chromebook_samus_tpl +(chromebook_samus_tpl) binman: Node '/binman/rom/intel-descriptor': Cannot find Intel Flash Descriptor (FD) signature +(chromebook_samus_tpl) make[1]: *** [Makefile:1101: all] Error 1 +(chromebook_samus_tpl) make: *** [Makefile:177: sub-make] Error 2 0 2 2 /4 chromebook_samus_tpl Completed: 4 total built, duration 0:00:31, rate 0.13
Note that nothing changed for the board but on the second build now the faked blob is unhappy and causes a failure message that I don't see the first time, and probably shouldn't see this time either? This is a problem for me in that it's on most x86 boards and so makes it easier to miss other real build failures in my testing.
