The VM hardware and OS type versions were outdated and resulted in
features not being available by default.
Choose a newer ESXi host version (requires 6.5) and set the guest
OS type to Linux 3.x 64 bit.
Before, we were relying on the toolchains job to build and upload
packages that were part of the SDK. With this change, all packages that
should be part of the SDK are built and uploaded by the SDK job. The
toolchains job only builds toolchain packages specific for the release.
This change includes several adjustments done to both the SDK and the
toolchains jobs to make this work:
* Make the SDK job build all cross toolchains, including Rust
* Stop building Rust in the toolchains job and use the one in the SDK
instead.
* In toolchain_util.sh: detect when the symlink folder for crossdev
packages is missing and run crossdev to create it during
update_chroot setup.
* Make it possible to build the SDK starting from stage 4 instead of
stage 1, to make the SDK building faster for PR branches / nightlies
(full build should still be done for releases / weeklies).
For some unicode characters in ca-certificates file names "rev" complains
about an "invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character"
and gives no output.
Filter out any unexpected characters for "rev" and replace them with "?"
so that "ls some?name" will still resolve the original name.
The license JSON file did only include the package names but not
any other metadata. Also since the file was not on the image itself,
it had to be downloaded.
Add more metadata to the license JSON and store it on the image.
If a user or old software creates the flag file on the old CoreOS location,
nothing would happen.
Check the old location, too, so that Ignition is rerun.
systemd and sudo are already fixed. Git was fixed by updating to 2.23.2,
not 2.24.1. Samba is 2 years old and customized, thus difficult to update.
file, Python, and gdb are only in the SDK.
The dev build SDKs are not in $FLATCAR_DEV_BUILDS/sdk but published under
$FLATCAR_DEV_BUILDS/developer/sdk.
Add an environment variable to specify where the SDK is to be found
but default to $FLATCAR_DEV_BUILDS/sdk if it is not specified.
From Jenkins this variable is exported as DOWNLOAD_ROOT_SDK.
Two Flatcar versions were used in /etc/portage/make.conf both in the SDK
and in the boards.
Use only a single version by default to get the expected results and not
something else when using binary packages.
The Rust crossdev package was never uploaded to /sdk/ and always
had to be compiled again.
Upload it in a separate toolchain-arm64 directory because /Packages in /crossdev/
doesn't refer to the Rust package and its use flags.
The BINHOST was still configured to be the CoreOS CL upstream location
which does not work for independent Flatcar CL releases. This broke
binary package installation in the development container.
Use the correct BINHOST to fix installation of binary packages in the
development container.
The configuration variables for the Ignition configuration also serve as
data source for coreos-cloudinit config data (which includes plain scripts).
Document them properly and also call out that the networking variables only
work if coreos-cloudinit data is used.
For some use cases, too few networking variables were available. Add secondary
routing variables for the main network interface and add a second interface.
There was a logical mistake in Ignition that caused ignition.config.*
only to work when it was part of the ovfenv. Thus they were added but
the old CoreOS variables marked deprecated and kept. With both as OVF
variables each of them worked but directly specifying ignition.config.*
as guest variable still didn't because of the logical mistake.
Now there is a fix and both work well when specified directly as guest
variable (https://github.com/flatcar-linux/ignition/pull/11).
Delete the old CoreOS OVF variables because they just clutter the UI
and only the Ignition variables should be used in the UI.
Write out an iPXE script file for Packet.
The script uses relative URLs to refer to
the other PXE files and thus can be copied
along with the files to any server.
This is useful because it saves the creation
of an iPXE script for a release/channel on a
third-party service. For CI testing it is
also helpful because the script does not only
end up on the release server but also already
on the Google buckets, refering to unpublished
PXE payloads.
For the Ignition variables to be usable they need to be
specified in the OVF.
Call out that the CoreOS variables are deprecated to
reduce confusion when both are displayed besides each other.
Create a tar ball with the contents of the / and /usr partitions
to be used as follows with systemd-nspawn (via machinectl):
machinectl import-tar flatcar-container.tar.gz flatcar-container
machinectl start flatcar-container
machinectl shell flatcar-container
or with docker by converting it to an OCI image:
docker import -c "CMD /bin/bash" flatcar-container.tar.gz flatcar-container
Since the new "prodtar" command relies on the results of the "prod" command,
it bundles it so that "prod prodtar" and "prodtar" is the same.
To make packages-matrix build rust sources for arm64-usr,
we need to make toolchain include the rust target for arm.
Unfortunately, catalyst does not support the cross-build rust target
by default. We also cannot add `dev-lang/rust` to `$TOOLCHAIN_PKGS`,
because then catalyst would tries to build a `cross-*/rust` package,
which does not exist.
So we need to manually run emerge for rust, without `--newuse -u`
options. If the `--newuse -u` options are given, the rust will not
be installed at all.
GLSA 201904-13 was fixed by dev-vcs/git >= 2.20.1, but it's unstable
for arm64. That has been already changed to stable for arm64 on Gentoo
upstream, but both Container Linux and Flatcar Linux still have older
ebuild with `~arm64`. So for now we should ignore the GLSA 201904-03.
