[Bug 1586026] [NEW] Remove arm64 binaries for packages failing to build with Qt compiled with OpenGL ES

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki):

Summary of requested archive operations:

On yakkety, remove arm64 binaries from the following source packages
that would now fail the arm64 build if rebuilt:

bino goldencheetah openscad ovito sdrangelove tulip vite

Since Qt is now using OpenGL ES, Qt 5 applications directly using OpenGL
features not available in the ES subset may have build failures since
OpenGL ES headers are now used instead. Such applications didn't build
on armhf either which has used OpenGL ES from the beginning. Similar to
armhf, all or most arm64 hardware graphics (like Adreno, Mali) have only
ES support.

--- below is background regarding how the package list was created

Qt build for arm64 recently switched to using OpenGL ES in yakkety,
similar to armhf.

I've output of packages building against Qt 5 (qtbase5-dev, qt5-qmake,
qtdeclarative5-dev or qt5-default), and a list of packages failing to
build on armhf - formerly from from http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/ and
then again via launchpadlib.

Combining those results in this list:
itksnap
klog
libqglviewer
mudlet
sdrangelove
sleepyhead
thumbnailer
tulip

Of which I already knew tulip was affected. klog and thumbnailer seem
false positive, making the following candidates of removing arm64
binaries of:

itksnap
libqglviewer
mudlet
sdrangelove
sleepyhead
tulip

To get absolutely everything, I got a list of all binaries depending on
libqt5core5a, got the source package for them and cross-checked. This
got me the list of the six above plus the following three:

bino
qwtplot3d
vite

However, rebuilding all of the nine resulted in discovery that not all
that failed on armhf fail on arm64: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-
service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-035/+packages

The failures for 5 armhf packages seem to be not related to the choice
of Qt's OpenGL configuration options, so the arm64 builds succeeded (in
case of itksnap, would have succeeded if not for other FTBFS problem).

Same but for depwait and not ftbfs (list gotten via launchpadlib), cross-checking against libqt5core5a depending packages:

goldencheetah # noticed manually first, but also gotten from this filtering
openscad
ovito
qtconnectivity-opensource-src
yade

Of these goldencheetah openscad ovito failed arm64 rebuild.
