Make it clear how to build a different architecture on a separate slave about jenkins-debian-glue HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey. I just provided documentation in the FAQ titled "How do I build Debian packages for specific architectures/distributions which require specific features on a build host?" available at https://github.com/mika/jenkins-debian-glue - does this answer your question?

from jenkins-debian-glue.

While it seems to be workable in theory; I'm getting following error :

• echo '* cowbuilder build phase for arch armel _'
  *_* cowbuilder build phase for arch armel ***
• mkdir -p /home/jenkins/workspace/beehive-binaries/architecture/armel/label/armel/binaries/

  ++ dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH

Right, sorry. :)

Can you please retry with latest change

Now it seems to work :)
Now I just have to make sure that arch-all packages are not build on the slave

from jenkins-debian-glue.

Jey, great. :)
