Is there a way to run pre-release jobs for a package for ARM architectures (i.e. armhf or arm64) locally? I tried to change the input parameters to generate_prerelease_script.py with no luck.
It looks like we don’t have full support for that at the moment.
When you mutate the parameters to a supported platform. Such as if you want to switch to arm64 you need to switch to debian jessie as well.
It’s not caught well but you get an error like:
$ generate_prerelease_script.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros-infrastructure/ros_buildfarm_config/production/index.yaml kinetic default ubuntu xenial arm64 angles --level 0 --output-dir ./

build_file.targets[os_name][os_code_name])))
ros_buildfarm.common.JobValidationError
But once that works there appears to be some files only partially templated for debian support. So debian jessie arm64 fails. I’ve ticketed it here: https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/ros_buildfarm/issues/311
But I successfully ran a prerelease on ubuntu xenial armhf.

Thanks Tully.
My ubuntu xenial armhf pre-release jobs fail after some initial progress with the following [docker] error:
rpc error: code = 2 desc = "oci runtime error: exec format error"
I tested the pre-release job on two different hosts (both running 64 bit Ubuntu Trusty) and got the same error. The error shows up when osrf/ubuntu_armhf is being pulled:

I was seeing that error as well when I didn’t have the ‘qemu-user-static’ package installed.
Try adding the static qemu:
apt-get install qemu-user-static
