Seeing any snap via snap_preseed will evaluate the base for each snap
and seed the appropriate base. There should be no reason to explicitly
seed the 'core' snap and with snaps moving to 'core18' this will add
'core' without need.
The _snap_post_process function is meant to install snapd if core18 is the
only core snap installed or removed snapd if core is installed and snapd
was not explicitly installed. But the current logic in _snap_preseed
will never call _snap_post_process. $core_name will never be empty
with the existing logic, but even if it were that would only be for the
'core' snap and we'd miss using the 'core18' logic that pulls in snapd.
Given the case statement in _snap_post_process can handle doing the
right thing given any snap we can just call it unconditionally.
The prior change to pre-seed the correct base added a case to handle
installation of the core snap. When that was added it created a case
where the $core_snap variable would not be defined when we reach the
end of the _snap_preseed function and evaluate if $core_snap is defined
by empty. Previous if the snap to preseed was core or core18 then
$core_snap would be "" so this patch addresses that by ensuring the
variable exists and is empty by default.
With the removal of snap-tool failures are seen in image builds that do
not have the 'core' snap included by the seed. This is the case for the
minimized subproject of the ubuntu-cpc project where lxd/core is removed.
In that subproject, any binary hook which adds a snap that is based
on 'core' will not add 'core' and fail 'snap debug validate-seed'.
snap-tool included the following logic in the 'snap-tool info' when
determining snap bases:
# Have "base" initialized to something meaningful.
if self.is_core_snap():
snap_data["snap"]["base"] = ""
elif snap_data["snap"].get("base") is None:
snap_data["snap"]["base"] = "core"
The snap store does not return a base if the base is core which makes
this necessary. This patch looks for the base in 'snap info' output
and if none is found (and the snap is not snapd or core) it assumes the
base is 'core' and installs it. This restores the behavior lost in the
migration from snap-tool to snap cli.
snap-tool was added to support a deprecate cohort-key feature of the
snap store. Recent changes in snap assertions have added additional
fields which snap-tool is not retrieving. This resulted in snap install
failures on first boot.
This patch removes snap-tool and returns to using the snap cli.
This ensures snap downloads will function without odd incompatibilities.
This is apparently still required; without it snapd gives an error
message like:
stateengine.go:102: state ensure error: devicemgr: cannot proceed without seeding "core"
(cherry picked from commit 7f07cc8991)
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.
