The new build pipeline compresses images already but uploaded both the
compressed and uncompressed files because the whole build folder gets
uploaded.
Add a new flag "--only_store_compressed" to the image generation which
deletes the uncompressed file after compression is done. Uncompressed
images are still supported if specified in the flag
"image_compression_formats".
Closes https://github.com/flatcar-linux/Flatcar/issues/793
The original pipeline has package-diff commands to print out image
differences compared to the last release. This is used for the release
Go/No-Go QA checks.
Add the same logic to the new pipeline.
The image job builds an image container that is multiple GBs big and
takes >10 mins to be loaded in the vms job. The vms job can also do its
work by running from the packages container from the packages job when
it fetchs the built image from bincache first and assuming the images
job copies it there.
Skip generating the image container and instead use the packages
container for VM image building by copying the image folder first to
bincache and then retrieving it from there. While reworking this we
also address the issue that the VMs container had used the same name
for both architectures, causing a race when both run in parallel on
the same worker.
When testing "scripts" changes with Jenkins and a leaf job fails, we
currently would have to restart the whole build or update the git tag
manually. Since dealing with the git tag is not straightforward, add
a helper to update it.
It uses the SIGNER environment variable to decide whether the
signatures should be created or not. It expect the key of the SIGNER
to exist in GPGHOME, and that's what gpg_setup.sh is already doing.
In some places we need to recursively change the owner of the
directory that contains artifacts to be signed, otherwise we won't be
able to create new files with signatures there. This is because some
of the artifacts are either created inside the SDK container (so the
created files belong to root outside the container) or are created
with `sudo`.
Some of the signing may happen inside the SDK container, so make sure
to forward the SIGNER environment variable, as it will be used by the
signing function, when it's introduced.
The functions are sourcing other files that define global variables,
so they will spill into the callers shell unnecessarily. We will also
add some functionality that uses traps in follow-up commits, so it's
good to limit the scope of traps too.
The kola test run time shouldn't be longer than the GC duration to
prevent failing tests caused by GC interference.
Align the Azure kola timeout with the GC duration.
