Jira ticket: AR-1796
For completeness: rootfs-amd64-jammy-gnome-desktop
(rootfs artifact) has exactly the same problem, since it does not include appgroups or config_base in the name (it does include ARCH, though).
But, since rootfs artifacts are not published to an apt repo, this is a non-problem; the rootfs versions will vary and will be found correctly in OCI, and life goes on.
armbian-bsp-desktop
also has the same problem.
it's actually impossible to conciliate desktop aggregation
Yes.
"armbian-desktop-$DE-$ARCH" should be either with all groups or with no groups, so something that is fixed. Idea is that this package, when installed from minimal image, provides desktop.
Also regarding configs, if we don't use them, perhaps removing them?
Yes, we could remove appgroups and configs, but still, ARCH differences would still occur...
I'm testing making this package ARCH-specific, since nothing practical would change (package name is the same), and would allow us to "get by" as long as the targets.yaml used for repo-publishing does not have different appgroups/configs across all targets.
AFAIK configs are always the same - at least for our internal needs. If someone else uses this, can't tell. Lets discuss this problem later on meeting.
Yes. Configs are always the same. (config_base
).
Unfortunately, the armbian-desktop
package is also responsible for handling:
debian/postinst
config files, in AGGREGATED_DESKTOP_POSTINST
(goes into the package postinst)armbian/create_desktop_package.sh
in AGGREGATED_DESKTOP_CREATE_DESKTOP_PACKAGE
(is eval()'ed!) during package creationSo if we have a "fixed"/common armbian-desktop package (same for all appgroups) we'd be in trouble, we'd miss at least those:
config/desktop/focal/appgroups/editors/debian/postinst
config/desktop/focal/appgroups/browsers/debian/postinst
config/desktop/focal/appgroups/browsers/armbian/create_desktop_package.sh
config/desktop/buster/appgroups/browsers/debian/postinst
config/desktop/buster/appgroups/browsers/armbian/create_desktop_package.sh
config/desktop/bullseye/appgroups/browsers/debian/postinst
config/desktop/bullseye/appgroups/browsers/armbian/create_desktop_package.sh
config/desktop/sid/appgroups/browsers/debian/postinst
config/desktop/sid/appgroups/browsers/armbian/create_desktop_package.sh
So we'd need to move those to image creation or something.
Similarly, the desktop-bsp
package also handles
debian/armbian-bsp-desktop/postinst
in AGGREGATED_DESKTOP_BSP_POSTINST
(no occurences of this in appgroups, thankfully)debian/armbian-bsp-desktop/prepare.sh
in AGGREGATED_DESKTOP_BSP_PREPARE
(same, no occurences for appgroups)
What happened?
Ok so here's an old impasse. Hold on to your hat.
config/optional/architectures/amd64/_config/desktop/_all_distributions/appgroups/browsers/packages
This addsgoogle-chrome-stable
(with an extra apt-source) toAGGREGATED_PACKAGES_DESKTOP_COMMA
. But only if:So it is not included for any arm64, ever, nor if APPGROUPS does not include "browsers". All good.
Unfortunately, the
armbian-desktop
deb is then inconsistent:armbian-jammy-desktop-gnome
Architecture: all
AGGREGATED_PACKAGES_DESKTOP_COMMA
(only for the amd64+browsers case, that includesgoogle-chrome-stable
)So it's actually impossible to conciliate desktop aggregation (release+arch+appgroups+config_base+...) with a "single package", arch-independent, "armbian-desktop" package that is only per-
RELEASE
+DESKTOP_ENVIROMENT
. It gets worse if we considerAGGREGATED_DESKTOP_POSTINST
andAGGREGATED_DESKTOP_CREATE_DESKTOP_PACKAGE
which are also included in that package.Some possibilities:
AGGREGATED_PACKAGES_DESKTOP_SANS_APPGROUPS_SANS_CONFIG_BASE_COMMA
and use that in the package Recommends.How to reproduce?
"Simple" way to reproduce:
./compile.sh 'BETA=yes' 'BOARD=uefi-arm64' 'BRANCH=current' 'BUILD_DESKTOP=yes' 'BUILD_MINIMAL=no' 'DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED=browsers' 'DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=gnome' 'DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base' 'RELEASE=jammy' ARTIFACT_IGNORE_CACHE=yes
./compile.sh 'BETA=yes' 'BOARD=uefi-x86' 'BRANCH=current' 'BUILD_DESKTOP=yes' 'BUILD_MINIMAL=no' 'DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED=browsers' 'DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=gnome' 'DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base' 'RELEASE=jammy' ARTIFACT_IGNORE_CACHE=yes
./compile.sh 'BETA=yes' 'BOARD=uefi-x86' 'BRANCH=current' 'BUILD_DESKTOP=yes' 'BUILD_MINIMAL=no' 'DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED=none' 'DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=gnome' 'DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base' 'RELEASE=jammy' ARTIFACT_IGNORE_CACHE=yes
Each of these 3 builds produces a different
armbian-jammy-desktop-gnome
.Branch
main (main development branch)
On which host OS are you observing this problem?
