Bump to QEMU_UBUNTU_REL='bionic' #17

Closed knoopx closed 4 years ago

knoopx commented 5 years ago

Artful Aardvark reached end of life and is no longer available in Ubuntu archives, causing the script to fail if QEMU version is lower than required.

jirutka commented 5 years ago

I’ve changed it but now it fails with quite weird error:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

  qemu-user-static

Do you have any idea what’s going on?

Works fine from ubuntu 16.04 (using it here https://github.com/knoopx/alpine-raspberry-pi), what version is failing for you?

nrybowski commented 5 years ago

From https://travis-ci.org/alpinelinux/alpine-chroot-install/jobs/572038464#L395, it seems that the missing key provoke the mentioned error. The Ubuntu version used in the travis seems also to be a problem

jirutka commented 5 years ago

You’re right! And thanks for the PR!

I’m getting really tired of all the problems with this shitty distro full of bugs. :disappointed: Since Travis already provides up-to-date Ubuntu environments, I’m thinking about removing this complicated and problematic part of the script for installing/updating QEMU. It originates from the times when Travis provided only one distro with ancient QEMU version that didn’t work correctly. WDYT?

nrybowski commented 5 years ago

I think it's a good idea. Maybe it could be interesting to embed nix into the script ? It will act as a standalone package manager regardless of the one of the underlying distribution so the script will become more portable and we get rid of the versioning problem of Ubuntu.

jirutka commented 4 years ago

Okay, I removed the code for installing QEMU from Ubuntu repository in 2361b526ed2cfe20dbe6e262bbd3c6a7d6af88ed.

I know nix, but it would be massive overkill for this simple script.
