`sailfishos:chum` repository lacks `4.6`

[Olf0]

@rinigus / @piggz, the sailfishos:chum and sailfishos:chum:testing repositories at Sailfish-OBS lack the final release number for SailfishOS 4.5.0 4.5.0.25 (and sailfishos:chum lacks 4.6). That means:

1. In the "meta" configuration of sailfishos:chum:testing the entries for 4.5.0.24 shall be overwritten with:

    <repository name="4.5.0.25_i486">
      <path project="sailfishos:4.5.0.18" repository="latest_i486"/>
      <arch>i586</arch>
    </repository>
    <repository name="4.5.0.25_armv7hl">
      <path project="sailfishos:4.5.0.18" repository="latest_armv7hl"/>
      <path project="nemo:testing:hw:common" repository="sailfishos_4.5.0.25_armv7hl"/>
      <arch>armv8el</arch>
    </repository>
    <repository name="4.5.0.25_aarch64">
      <path project="sailfishos:4.5.0.18" repository="latest_aarch64"/>
      <path project="nemo:testing:hw:common" repository="sailfishos_4.5.0.25_aarch64"/>
      <arch>aarch64</arch>
    </repository>

2. In the "meta" configuration of sailfishos:chum the entries for 4.5.0.25 and 4.6 shall be added atop those for 4.5.0.24:

    <repository name="4.6_i486">
      <path project="sailfishos:4.6" repository="latest_i486"/>
      <arch>i586</arch>
    </repository>
    <repository name="4.6_armv7hl">
      <path project="sailfishos:4.6:hw-common" repository="latest_armv7hl"/>
      <path project="sailfishos:4.6" repository="latest_armv7hl"/>
      <arch>armv8el</arch>
    </repository>
    <repository name="4.6_aarch64">
      <path project="sailfishos:4.6:hw-common" repository="latest_aarch64"/>
      <path project="sailfishos:4.6" repository="latest_aarch64"/>
      <arch>aarch64</arch>
    </repository>
    <repository name="4.5.0.24_i486">
      <path project="sailfishos:4.5.0.18" repository="latest_i486"/>
      <arch>i586</arch>
    </repository>
    <repository name="4.5.0.25_armv7hl">
      <path project="sailfishos:4.5.0.18" repository="latest_armv7hl"/>
      <path project="nemo:testing:hw:common" repository="sailfishos_4.5.0.25_armv7hl"/>
      <arch>armv8el</arch>
    </repository>
    <repository name="4.5.0.25_aarch64">
      <path project="sailfishos:4.5.0.18" repository="latest_aarch64"/>
      <path project="nemo:testing:hw:common" repository="sailfishos_4.5.0.25_aarch64"/>
      <arch>aarch64</arch>
    </repository>

Thank you!

Keto from Jolla created a symlink for the download repository to save space. This means that although the projects doesnt display in OBS, the actual downloads continue to work.

Keto from Jolla created a symlink for the download repository to save space.

How is this symlink traceable / checkable? I.e. from where to where does it exactly point?

This means that although the projects doesnt display in OBS, the actual downloads continue to work.

Mmmh, what does this quite generic statement address specifically: Only 4.5.0.25, or also 4.6 for sailfishos:chum?

Visit the repo url fro 4.5.0.24 eg https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/4.5.0.25_aarch64/ Change 24 to 25, see the timestamps are the same.

Thank you, now I see:

1. For sailfishos:chum
   • repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/4.5.0.25_aarch64 equals repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/4.5.0.24_aarch64
   • repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/4.5.0.25_armv7hl equals repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/4.5.0.24_armv7hl
   • repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/4.5.0.25_i486 equals repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/4.5.0.24_i486
2. For sailfishos:chum:testing
   • repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum:/testing/4.5.0.25_aarch64 equals repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum:/testing/4.5.0.24_aarch64
   • repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum:/testing/4.5.0.25_armv7hl equals repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum:/testing/4.5.0.24_armv7hl
   • repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum:/testing/4.5.0.25_i486 equals repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum:/testing/4.5.0.24_i486

see the timestamps are the same.

Or better: Descend into repodata and see that the hashes are the same.

Unfortunately this is nothing I can utilise for Storeman, but as this is a single package, the waste of space is much less significant. For 4.6, I will switch to a single repo for all SailfishOS 4.6.0.x releases, too.

What seems to remain of this issue are the missing 4.6 entries for sailfishos:chum proper:

2. In the "meta" configuration of sailfishos:chum the entries for […] 4.6 shall be added atop those for 4.5.0.24:

   <repository name="4.6_i486">
   <path project="sailfishos:4.6" repository="latest_i486"/>
   <arch>i586</arch>
   </repository>
   <repository name="4.6_armv7hl">
   <path project="sailfishos:4.6:hw-common" repository="latest_armv7hl"/>
   <path project="sailfishos:4.6" repository="latest_armv7hl"/>
   <arch>armv8el</arch>
   </repository>
   <repository name="4.6_aarch64">
   <path project="sailfishos:4.6:hw-common" repository="latest_aarch64"/>
   <path project="sailfishos:4.6" repository="latest_aarch64"/>
   <arch>aarch64</arch>
   </repository>

One more aspect: in addition to saving space, it avoids rebuilding Chum/ChumTesting for minor version changes. This rebuilds could easily take days in the current setup. Hopefully, this approach will work well in practice and get a leaner OBS as a result.

RE 4.6 ... we're still trying to get all of testing to build. Quite a lot of packages are held up by changes to the opt-qt5/kf5 stuff which is having an issue. Im away on holiday for a week, hopefully @rinigus will figure it out :)

BTW, sailfishoschum-gui-installer versions ≥ 0.6.4 should handle the new naming scheme <major>.<minor>_<arch> as implemented in sailfishos:chum:testing for SailfishOS 4.6, when implemented in sailfishos:chum proper.

What seems to remain of this issue are the missing 4.6 entries for sailfishos:chum proper:

This is looking good to me now, hence closing this issue.
