Heads up, the usage of the new fakeroot package has failed in a major way in buildbot, and the phase2 packages buildbot has failed to build any package for 1-2 days.

That has caused ALL master snapshot downloadable packages to be removed from the download server for most package archs. The download dirs currently contain just the empty indices.

That will likely cause a flood of bug reports, forum discussions etc., as no casual user can download add-on packages for master until buildbot has rebuilt the packages and uploaded them to the server, package arch by arch. That will likely take several days until the last arch is done.  I noticed this after there were forum complaints away missing LuCI downloads with opkg.


As of now, I am not sure if the problem has been fixed. The most recent phase2 builds still show empty download directories. But that is possibly due to package builds made with faulty SDKs from the phase1 images buildbot.  (And nbd just committed a MacOS fix a few minutes ago, so there are apparently effects also for private build envs...)


The havoc has been most likely caused by commit "build: ipkg-build use fakeroot with PKG_FILE_MODES"

Fix attempts were made by

and

https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=729a75c3b2db0aa25745e8db425711cc761fa1f6

but those have effect in the phase2 packages build only after the build happens with the fixed/updated SDK from phase1, which fix is still waiting to be built for many targets.


Hopefully things have been fixed, but the rebuild of the packages will really take several days, maybe up to a week.
