Hello Armbian,

I am trying to build an image based on release 20.08, but kernel does not get compiled.

 

compile.sh docker BOARD=orangepizero BRANCH=current KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no CLEAN_LEVEL="" NO_APT_CACHER=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no RELEASE=buster

Am I doing anything wrong? 

 

Many thanks for the clarification.

Only master branch is expected to build flawless. Others aren't. The reason is that upstream sources may change so our patchset does not match anymore and cause issues.

If you want to compile this (older) branch you are on your own.

Does that mean that release tags v20.0x work until there is some change in upstream sources that brakes that?

So is it good practice to base the image from master at the given moment?

 

Many thanks.

Yes.

Ideally we would fork and freeze all sources depending on a specific branch but last but not least due to lack of  (human) ressources we cannot effort to do that.

Therefore are only able to maintain one branch which is master.

Hi,

 

is it possible to build 5.8.x-sunxi kernel with current armbian master build?

Somehow 5.9.x-sunxi spidev breaks our user-land application.

 

Many thanks.

Not without tinkering. current has been moved to 5.9

You can try to checkout the build script before this commit: https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/67887860572ac4a3162fb321f3df616e430ebf75

However don't expect to work flawless since there might have been breaking changes upstream.
