The livecd.ubuntu-cpc.ext4 that is present in each build (plus kernel
and initrd) are not renamed from /build/binary/boot/filsystem.ext4
and friends until after the binary hooks are run, so this patch moves
from trying to perform this cleanup in a binary hook. Now the cleanup
will be run at the end of live-build/binary for the ubuntu-cpc project.
In parallel builds where a list of image targets are provided the build
may produce binaries that are not part of the named set of targets but
are created by series dependencies. These implicitly created binaries
may be generated by multiple builds but are unused as our convention for
the ubuntu-cpc project is to only consume binaries from the explicitly
named image targets; this avoid overwriting the same object by multiple
parallel builds.
This patch adds support for a 'provides' keyword for series files. It can
be specified multiple times per series file. The field is used by the
make-hooks script to generate a list of output files created explicitly by
the named image targets. The list is saved to the "explicit_provides"
file in the hooks output directory. In the case of the "all" target
this list would be empty. This list is consumed by the "final.binary"
hook file.
This patch adds support for optional final.binary hooks in hooks.d/base
and/or hooks.d/extra. These final.binary hooks are always included as
the last hook(s) if either exist with the hook in "extra" running last.
The base/final.binary hook includes logic to parse the "explicit_provides"
file generated by the make-hooks script and remove any binary output not
explicitly specified.
Some series files named unnecessary dependencies, specifically
disk-image, to keep output of implicit artifacts consistent between
parallel builds. These unnecessary dependencies are removed in this
patch.
The addition of disk-image to series files in a prior commit required
some explanation. Without comment support in series files that was
not possible. This patch adds support for comments and adds those
comments as well.
The following targets have livecd.ubuntu-cpc.manifest (and
livecd.ubuntu-cpc.ext4) which differ in some way from the 'all'
target. They are all missing grub-efi and other modifications:
root-dir
squashfs
tarball
These targets do not depend on the 'disk-image' target. This means that
the ext4 produced will lack the uefi modifications (and any from the
disk-image target binary hooks).
Since the ext4 file is common to all builds there is a chance that a
parallel build from one of these targets could overwrite this artifact.
This patch ensures that all targets will produce consistent base output.
commit a993592 introduced an additional call to create_manifest
(and snap-seed-parse) to write binary/boot/filesystem.packages. This
caused duplicate snap lines in the qcow manifest. This is because the
live-build/auto/binary code assumes that after 'lb binary' is run the
filesystem.packages will only have debs and it calls snap-seed-parse to
add them to the file. The commit changed filesystem.packages in the
ubuntu-cpc uefi binary hook to include debs and snaps.
This patch keeps the intent of the prior patch, updating the
filesystem.packages file for the content of the uefi disk image, but
only writes a listing of debian packages to match the expected content
of filesystem.packages. The snaps will still be added in generic code
in live-build/auto/build.
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.
2.02+dfsg1-5ubuntu5 grub will automatically fall back to booting with an
initrd if one is available, so we can now always attempt initramfsless
boot for cloud images which almost always works and causes only minimal
increase in boot speed for cases where it does not.
