confirming the breakage

do we still support jammy builds?

[EvilOlaf]

No. Due our limited resources we can only support the latest LTS releases of both Debian (now Trixie) and Ubuntu (now Noble). Usually we leave oldstable packages creation rolling until something breaks which might be the case now.

Well said.

For some reason base-files for Jammy are (currently) not build-able.
https://github.com/armbian/armbian.github.io/blob/main/scripts/generate-base-files-info-json.py

If or when they will be fixed upstream, then there are chances to push this to the repo.

This has to be enabled back:
armbian/os@7f1e5af

And then next batch will have base files. If they build.

[leggewie]

OK, let's close this as NOTABUG in about two weeks time if the problem persists. Let's keep the ticket open until then as a reminder to revert armbian/os@7f1e5af if that becomes feasible again.
