* Replace "snap download" with tool that uses snap store's coherence feature
This is important for parallel image builds to ensure all pre-seeded snaps
have the same versions across image variants.
* Inject a proxy into the build providing a snapshot view of the package repo.
When the REPO_SNAPSHOT_STAMP variable is set, the auto/build script will attempt
to launch a transparent HTTP proxy on port 8080, and insert an iptables rule to
redirect all outgoing HTTP requests to this proxy.
The proxy, contained in the `magic-proxy` Python script, examines each request
and silently overrides those pointing to InRelease files or files that are
listed in InRelease files. It will instead provide the contents of the requested
file as it was at REPO_SNAPSHOT_STAMP, by downloading the corresponding asset
"by hash".
* Use series files with dependency handling to generate hook symlinks dynamically
This patch currently only applies to the "ubuntu-cpc" project.
More and more logic has been going into the hook scripts to decide
under which conditions they should run or not. As we are moving
to parallelized builds of image sets, this will get even more
complicated. Base hooks will have to know which image sets they
belong to and modification of the dependency chain between scripts
will become more complicated and prone to errors, as the number of
image sets grows.
This patch introduces explicit ordering and dependency handling for
scripts through the use of `series` files and an explicit syntax
for dependency specification.
The generic assertion will be put in place if there are preseeded snaps.
A hook that wants to add its own model should be able to overwrite
the generic assertion. This patch allows a hook to continue unchanged
calling snap_prepare_assertions with a custom brand/model. The patch
will replace the generic brand/model if a custom brand/model is specified.
Prior to this patch the generic brand/model would remain in place.
There can only be one model assertion, so we don't need to disambiguate them.
This also brings us in line with the behaviour of `snap prepare-image`, and
consistency is nice.
This also splits up the preparation in to two functions, so that images that
want to use a custom model assertion but don't have any snaps to preinstall
don't end up with the core snap installed.
When no channel is given for a pre-seeded snap, the channel
should be stable/ubuntu-XX.YY to match Ubuntu policy.
This patch adds the LB_DISTRIBUTION var to config/{binary,chroot}
to have a common way of determining the Ubuntu XX.YY version
number between hooks and auto/build.
* Only shell out to set $account when we need to use it.
* Reduce scope of $account to make it local to the function
* Fix indenting within an 'if' block
instead of having bogus root=stuff arg generated in grub.cfg, it is
actually empty. Therefore update the sed command to make the arg in
the root= token optional. This should resolve non-booting livecd cpc
images.
unmount them, instead of working from a hard-coded list. This makes
the code resilient against other submounts being added later, including
downstream.
* Also nuke the sleep / udevadm settle calls in the process, which should
never be required and slow down the builds.
* live-build/ubuntu-cpc/functions: Add a function, teardown_mountpoint,
to reverse the work done in setup_mountpoint. Lack of this function
has forced users of setup_mountpoint to implement this separately
and the implementations have diverged. (LP: #1716992)
* live-build/ubuntu-cpc/functions: Remove umount_settle function.
The was only used where teardown_mountpoint was lacking.
