I tried to upgrade from gitea 1.5.0(armv7) to 1.9.4(armv6).
However the 1.9.4 executable always crashes trying to migrate the databases. It tries 10 times then prints an error and because I set the service to restart itself it then starts again.

I tried to use various other versions inbetween, but they did not work either, e.g. 1.64(arm6 and arm7) exited with en segfault /SEGV) without writing to the logfile.
The hardware gitea is running on is a RaspberryPi 3B+.
Does someone know what causes this and could help me upgrading ?
1.5.3 segfaulted immediately.
I then downloaded and tried 1.51 (arm6 and arm7).
Running the arm6 version manually without pointing it to my app.ini seemed to work fine, so I exited with Ctrl+C.
I now first restorted the sql databases to my 1.5.0 backup, then tested 1.5.1-arm7. The arm7 version segfaulted.
And now comes the part that I do not understand:
The arm6 version of 1.5.1 does now also segfault.

Neither rebooting nor deleting the newly create ./custom/conf/app.ini did solve this. It all still segfaults. Checking the shasums I can verify that the binary file is still the same.
The 1.5.0 binary segfaults if another gitea instances failed previously, but works again after reboot.
I must admit that I neither understand this behaviour nor do I know what to do about it.
Until the new kernel is available via apt, running the binary via gdb seems to avoid the issue due to different memory handling. I was able to succesfully upgrade to 1.5.3 with gdb and will see if incremental updates will continue to work up to 1.9.4.
If using the installaton as described here: docs.gitea .io/en-us/install-from-binary :
gdb --args gitea web -c /etc/gitea/app.ini
> set cwd /var/lib/gitea
> set environment HOME /home/git
> set environment GITEA_WORK_DIR /var/lib/gitea
> run
A new kernel version (4.19.93-v7+) is now available for the RaspberryPi on raspian in the default stable repositories and can be installed with apt-get.
The segfaults seem to be resolved. I tested 1.10.3 and 1.10.2 and everything worked fine up until now.
(Previous available kernel version: 4.19.75-v7+)
