Can you get the log with export G_MESSAGES_DEBUG="all" please? Also, is this the 0.3.5 release tarball? Thanks.

from appstream-glib.

Also, all the appstream* files in /tmp/asbuilder/output/ would be great, thanks.

from appstream-glib.

I can surely create the log with more messages (I hope).. getting the files in /tmp is more difficult, as they are in a shielded off build bot. I can try to reproduce this in a local VM... (but then I need to cross-build, instead of native build)

from appstream-glib.

I'm a bit confused why it's failing given that firmware is supposed to be arch-neutral.

from appstream-glib.

https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/GNOME:Next/appstream-glib/openSUSE_PPC/ppc64 contains a log output with debug enabled (and yes, this is the 0.3.5 release; actually based of a git clone at the tag, not the tarball)

from appstream-glib.

looking at
WARNING: Failed to explode: Cannot extract: Checksum error CFDATA[0] c26bbe02:12bb6ed2 in 465 bytes

it might actually be an issue of gcab?

from appstream-glib.

We're using gcab to create the .cab files used in the self test. The actual decompression is done by libarchive in the builder. To find out if it's a gcab or libarchive we'd have to get a copy of the built data/tests/colorhug-als-2.0.2.cab and then try to decompress that on a !ppc64 machine. If it decompresses fine, it's a libarchive issue, if it's corrupt, it's a gcab issue.

from appstream-glib.

FYI: bgo#746580 seems to address the issue (got a gcab with the patch applied and appstream-glib passes the test suite on all archs now for me)

from appstream-glib.

Great, thanks for testing.
