Hello! I reported here about the test failure status in early April and here is a follow-up. My old emails can be found here: https://lists.launchpad.net/maria-developers/msg11171.html https://lists.launchpad.net/maria-developers/msg11170.html If one looks at the picture from April and compares to the status today, the situation is a bit sad as we have even less green than before: https://lists.launchpad.net/maria-developers/pngcpxTB4wjTW.png Current issues we have in addition to the usual mtr test failures are: - On multiple bionic builds the upgrade fails to run with no apparent reason. The builder script does not seem to find any previous installation of anything, so that probably is missing from the images: + dpkg -l + grep -iE 'maria|mysql|galera' + true Thus the build fails. Example log: http://buildbot.askmonty.org/buildbot/builders/kvm-deb-bionic-amd64/bui lds/196/steps/upgrade2/logs/stdio - On bionic and xenial aarch64 mysqld fails to start.

All the other issues are things I cannot do anything about.. :( On the bright side I can report that there are at least no build regressions on Launchpad with current 10.3: https://launchpad.net/~mysql-ubuntu/+archive/ubuntu/mariadb-10.3/+build s?build_text=&build_state=all - Otto
