Description Mathieu Dubois-Briand 2025-07-24 08:36:53 UTC 
We got a metrics build fail on rocky8-vk-1, complaining that python is too old on this worker:

BitBake requires Python 3.8.0 or later as 'python3' (scripts/install-buildtools can be used if needed)

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/103/builds/1511

So my first thought was we should update python here, but this worker actually works fine with other jobs, probably because they are using buildtools. https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/workers/55

So I'm wondering, what should we do here? Use buildtools for metrics builds? Or maybe exclude old workers from metrics builds?

This is specific to the styhead branch and it just needed some configuration I believe:

Posted "[PATCH][yocto-autobuilder-helper][styhead] config.json: Use buildtools tarball for rocky8".
