It’s now possible to upload ARM packages to packages.nethserver.org ! This is the usual upload-rpms command:
upload-rpms davidep@packages.nethserver.org:nscom/7.6.1810/arm-testing *.rpm
Allowed architectures are noarch, armv7hl, aarch64 and x86_64.
There is a new set of repositories whose names are prefixed with arm-: they are dedicated to the ARM team.
arm-base
arm-updates
arm-testing
arm-nethforge
arm-nethforge-testing
When an RPM is uploaded to arm- repositories
noarch and src RPMs are retained in arm-
armv7hl and aarch64 are copied (hardlinked) to the corresponding main repo, i.e. arm-testing goes to testing too, arm-updates to updates and so on…
In general, when a noarch is uploaded to any repository (for instance, “updates”) it is copied to all architectures:
Random notes:
Repoclosure checks are disabled by now on ARM architectures
ARM repositories are still not sent to mirrors
The 7.5.1804 branch is going to be closed soon!

thank you @davidep for your hard work and pushing this further.
Still need some time to comprehend this, first thoughts are it can be problematic…

I still have to implement the “blacklist”. As repoclosure is now disabled, it’s not strictly required.

I’ll work on it tomorrow, upload arm (initial only arm32 bit) dependencies and try to get a nethserver install up and running from the new repositories.
this should be possible.

Uploading packages fails…
$ upload-rpms markVnl@packages.nethserver.org:nscom/7.6.1810/arm-base *.rpm
sftp> put c-icap-0.5.2-1.ns7.armv7hl.rpm
Couldn't fsetstat: Permission denied
Despite sftp access is permitted:
$ sftp -i /home/mark/.ssh/neth_rsa markVnl@packages.nethserver.org
Connected to packages.nethserver.org.
sftp> ls nscom/7.6.1810/arm-base/
nscom/7.6.1810/arm-base/mark.Z5XyS0
(Note: i did “patch” upload-rpms to use the right key)
@davidep any ideas?

That is not a fatal error: you can safely ignore it!

Nice catch, I must fix it! As we said in the past, we need a different comps file for ARM. I’d start by copying the one from x86_64, then we’ll add a new ARM-specific .xml file here: GitHub - NethServer/comps (also for nethforge)

Can you elaborate a bit more?arm-updates-groups.xml is not “dispatched” to the ARM repositories?
To put a bit of pressure on it

Probably I can’t work on this today, I’m sorry
If you can change the xml files consider that they should be applied once the arm-updates repo is built again

After pushing a update to the arm-updates repo the arm-updates-groups.xml shows up in the repository’s. Unfortunaly the (x86_64) updates-groups.xml is also updated
Causing the change in groups to have no effect

The upload spool dir has now some XML files
updates-groups.xml
nethforge-groups.xml
arm-updates-groups.xml
arm-nethforge-groups.xml
And some symlinks with arch suffix
updates-groups.aarch64.xml
updates-groups.armhfp.xml
updates-groups.x86_64.xml
…
Ignore the symlinks, that just point to the real files. What you have to upload is arm-updates-groups.xml. Filesystem permissions should protect against mistakes…
