#1 Updated by intrigeri over 3 years ago

  • Blocked by Feature #10748: Generate a manifest of packages used at build time added

#2 Updated by intrigeri over 3 years ago

  • Description updated (diff)
  • % Done changed from 20 to 10
  • Feature Branch set to puppet-tails:kibi/master

Note that there are two implementations (kibi/pu/master-v1, kibi/master). The latter is slower but uses Dpkg::Control instead of a home-made parser.

#3 Updated by intrigeri over 3 years ago

A potential lacking feature in the current code is being discussed over email: "Tails#10748, Tails#10749: architectures". But this shouldn't block me from testing/reviewing the rest :)

I've merged the version that uses Dpkg::Control: even if it's slower, it's cheaper to maintain and we only run that ~once per release.

However, on this ticket we need to handle the problem raised in the "Tails#10748: build manifest vs. multiple origins" email thread.

Done. More work is needed, see the blueprint for details.

Integration was done up to the point when a build from tagged snapshots succeeded. Remaining bits are listed on the blueprint.

#15 Updated by intrigeri about 3 years ago

  • % Done changed from 40 to 50

I've confirmed that a build from a given tagged snapshot has the same packages and build manifest as the build (from time-based snapshots) whose build manifest was used to generate that tagged snapshot, so we're good. Only a couple cleanup / follow-up tiny tasks are left, so we're basically done here, until we're ready to have the entire parent task reviewed'n'merged.

Regarding the Puppet review, it's the same as #6299, really: start in manifests/reprepro/snapshots/ in puppet-tails, and follow the white rabbit (classes, templates, files).

The review bertagaz posted on #6299#note-15 covers these bits too.
