Armbian OS

What does this project do?

• Builds quarterly stable, daily rolling and weekly community Armbian OS images
• Keeps build framework packages artifacts cache up to date to secure fast rebuild process
• Keeps stable apt.armbian.com and nightly beta.armbian.com packages repository up to date
• Keep synchronizing the selection of 3rd party applications with Armbian repositories
• Reversion Firefox, Thunderbird and Chromium to higher (9) epoch version then its Snapd counterparts (1)
• Tests install of all packages added onto stable and testing Debian and Ubuntu releases
• Tests packages upgrade sucess on real hardware
• Tests build supported and community supported desktops

How to enable images?

Build lists are generated automatic based on support policy and with help of templates, .blacklist and .map files.

How to add description to download pages?

Each kernel branch can have additional description which is stoed in kernel-description.json and automatically updated upon changes.

When is this happening?

• Artifacts cache is updated every eight hours, starting at 0:00 AM UTC
• Repository update starts after artifacts cache update is done succesfully
• Smoke tests starts once per day at 5:30 AM UTC
• Nightly images are build once per day, at 2:00 AM UTC, or if build config / template is changed
• Manually, when Armbian release manager executes a build action

Latest smoke tests results:

• installs kernels, device tree blob and headers
• runs network (iperf) and computing performance tests (7z benchmark)
• store armbianmonitor logs
