autopkgtesting now running on armhf and ppc64el -- apologies for spamming

[Martin Pitt]

Hello Ubuntu developers,

this week Jean-Baptiste and I worked on enabling autopkgtests on armhf
and ppc64el. They will soon appear on

  https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Trusty/view/AutoPkgTest/

as separate views (AutoPkgtest armhf and AutoPkgtest ppc64el). Until
that has been configured, Canonical folks can see them on

  http://d-jenkins.ubuntu-ci:8080/view/Trusty/view/AutoPkgTest/

We now did a mass run of all available tests on both architectures.
Unfortunately we forgot to disable email notifications for that, so
you will be getting a lot of failures (for all the packages where you
were the last uploader). I'm really sorry about that, please just
ignore them.

There are currently a lot of failures, for various reasons. Some tests
might not work on ARM/ppc64el, might have insufficient dependencies,
or can't run in a container and need a full VM instead. Until we fix
britney to ignore tests that never succeeded on a particular
architecture we will thus NOT use these test results for gating
propagation from -proposed to release.

Thank you, and apologies again for the mail spam,

Martin Pitt
