| gtristan | Anyone booted any baserock system built of late ? | 08:39 |
|---|---|---|
| * gtristan finds that the initramfs fails to start systemd | 08:40 | |
| gtristan | because of weird symlinkage | 08:40 |
| paulsherwood | ooh... | 08:40 |
| gtristan | tries /sbin/init, which is actually located at /usr/sbin/init (/sbin being -> usr/sbin) | 08:41 |
| gtristan | /usr/sbin/init is -> ../../lib/systemd/systemd or such | 08:41 |
| gtristan | and no such file or directory | 08:41 |
| paulsherwood | http://imgur.com/a/ALuyS | 08:42 |
| paulsherwood | is your problem anythign like that? | 08:42 |
| gtristan | nope, dont get that far | 08:43 |
| paulsherwood | :/ | 08:43 |
| * gtristan can force it with kernel append in writeexts.py | 08:44 | |
| paulsherwood | in answer to your original question... since i switched to my current laptop, that's what happens with baserock images for me | 08:44 |
| * gtristan already had to modify writeexts.py again to use a built btrfs/extlinux | 08:44 | |
| gtristan | btw I found the issue for building stage1-gcc on morern hosts | 08:46 |
| gtristan | it's this: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69959 | 08:46 |
| gtristan | stage1-gcc.morph: CXX="g++ -std=gnu++98" ./configure ... <-- fixes that | 08:46 |
| paulsherwood | w00t! :) | 08:47 |
| gtristan | paulsherwood, I *think* that may have been the issue we were talking about a while ago, where changing runners broke things | 08:47 |
| gtristan | this https://gitlab.com/baserock/ybd/issues/257 is really a mess though :-/ | 08:48 |
| gtristan | I dont think fixing it would be easy, but better to know what's happening | 08:49 |
| paulsherwood | :/ | 08:49 |
| gtristan | I wonder if the issue you have booting might have to do with that, it may be random what gets staged in /usr/bin and what gets staged in /bin | 08:49 |
| paulsherwood | is it clear what should be the canonical order for moving over the artifacts? | 08:50 |
| gtristan | yes | 08:51 |
| gtristan | order of dependency | 08:51 |
| gtristan | and then something deterministic | 08:51 |
| gtristan | could be alphabetic, but at least consistent | 08:52 |
| gtristan | paulsherwood, as I mentioned in the last notes... this could be an error in the /usr merge | 08:52 |
| gtristan | if all chunks in build-essential stage 3 dont explicitly depend on fhs-dirs stage3, then all bets are off | 08:52 |
| gtristan | because the symlinks need to be created before anything else is staged | 08:53 |
| gtristan | hmm | 08:55 |
| gtristan | ok well, enough with that test | 08:56 |
| gtristan | after setting init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd on kernel command line, I boot to gdm | 08:56 |
| gtristan | and then nothing happens | 08:56 |
| gtristan | no graphical environment | 08:57 |
| * gtristan can safely just say that "we have regressed" | 08:57 | |
| gtristan | since last year | 08:57 |
| ironfoot | :/ | 08:58 |
| paulsherwood | :/ | 09:00 |
| * gtristan tries to build a conversion of last year's known working system, but with recently manually converted build-essential (including /usr merge) not sure it will work | 09:00 | |
| gtristan | but I'm hopeful | 09:00 |
| ironfoot | well, if the /usr merge messed up the systemd symlinking, that bit may still be broken | 09:00 |
| ironfoot | but gdm might work | 09:00 |
| gtristan | ironfoot, right, I already work around that by specifying the systemd binary in syslinux.conf | 09:01 |
| ironfoot | yup yup | 09:01 |
| gtristan | strange though, I think the symlinks are correct, does this mean it's possible to setup correct symlinks which make some pathnames unreachable ? | 09:02 |

| SotK | ideally there should be some way to automate checking if things boot | 09:09 |
| gtristan | SotK, ironfoot mentioned that the other day too, but before that happens, in the absence of that, we should still be more strict about ensuring the end result works | 09:09 |
| ironfoot | of course we don't have to test all the systems | 09:10 |
| ironfoot | but also define what systems we have to test | 09:10 |
| * SotK assumes that could be sensibly defined as "the contents of ci.morph" | 09:10 | |
| gtristan | nod | 09:11 |
| paulsherwood | imo this is only feasible with an automated smoke test | 09:11 |
| SotK | paulsherwood: +1 | 09:11 |
| ironfoot | (ci.morph was kind of deprecated, and now .gitlab-ci is the one) | 09:11 |
| gtristan | ironfoot, this situation will also be improved by splitting up the definitions into something more modular of course | 09:11 |
| SotK | the other alternative is to make reviewers obliged to test builds of a bunch of stuff | 09:11 |
| SotK | which is highly annoying for reviewers | 09:12 |
| SotK | and was part of the reason I always wanted CI so much when I was more active here | 09:12 |
| gtristan | I.e. then you have the maintainer of the GNOME system *pull* a new core with new systemd and /usr merge, and report bugs back to core maintainers, but not blindly accepting these changes downstream | 09:12 |
| gtristan | The onus can fall on the reviewer/maintainer but it can also fall on the patch submitter | 09:13 |
| gtristan | if you're making patches to definitions, and you're not building locally and booting vms *already*, then... what *are* you doing anyway ? | 09:14 |
| SotK | equally, that makes it frustrating to send a patch | 09:14 |
| SotK | since we will likely need more than one system to be tested | 09:14 |
| paulsherwood | iiuc the gap is that we need a ci step that can deploy a built system, cause the deployed system to boot, and check some things | 09:14 |
| gtristan | Yes, as I said, ironfoot brought that up the other day | 09:15 |
| SotK | paulsherwood: indeed | 09:15 |
| gtristan | I'm talking about being responsible, in the _absense_ of that | 09:15 |
| gtristan | sure, it would be great if we had greater things | 09:15 |
| paulsherwood | gtristan: ack | 09:15 |

| jjardon | jonathanmaw please create a branch in our project downstream using the contents of that MR, so we can test before merge | 09:42 |
| paulsherwood | jjardon: for 334 shall i 'merge when pipeline succeeds'? | 09:48 |
| jjardon | paulsherwood: upstream pipeline doesn't test the rpm creation, so I think it would be better if we can test it in our downstream pipeline as well | 09:56 |
| paulsherwood | ok | 09:57 |
