2024-12 arm incorrectly packaged

[Guite]

What happened?

Yesterday I wanted to start eclipse but nothing happened. When I started it using CLI I got:

To override eclipse.ini, copy the default file to '/home/.../snap/eclipse/110/eclipse.ini' and modify to suit.
/snap/eclipse/110/bin/eclipse-wrapper: Zeile 9: /snap/eclipse/110/usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse: Kann die Binärdatei nicht ausführen: Fehler im Format der Programmdatei

After I did snap refresh eclipse --channel latest/edge it downgraded to 2024-09 and started again afterwards.

So I assume that 2024-12 is incorrectly packaged, because I am running an ARM machine (aarch64 architecture) and the error message implies that it tried to start a x86 binary.

What should have happened?

I expected Eclipse to start as usual.

I am building the ARM version on x64 because we don't have Linux ARM GitHub runners for the moment. As nothing is really compiled but just repacked I thought this would work. The logs at https://github.com/eclipse-linuxtools/eclipse-ide-snap/actions/runs/12145366008/job/33866829890 are pretty useless and don't even mention the tarball downloaded.

Public GitHub hosted runners for ARM github/roadmap#970 have been delayed until next year.

How was 2024-09 built (since this works like a charm)?

[Mailaender]

I think the @snapcrafters used Launchpad, which has native ARM runners. I will try to use an emulator for now.

Works - thanks for the quick reaction 👍
