Ph 5.0 make build issues in packages sssd-2.8.2 and kubernetes-dashboard-2.7.0

[dcasota]

Describe the bug

Ph 5.0 make build fails processing sssd-2.8.2 and kubernetes-dashboard-2.7.0 packages, see logfiles. build-kubernetes-dashboard-2.7.0.log build-sssd-2.8.2.log sssd.log

fyi observations

• During the last ten days, not all packages on packages.vmware.com/photon were downloadable (-> "not found").
• kubernetes-dashboard up to 2.7.0.9 has been placed in https://packages.vmware.com/photon/5.0/photon_5.0_x86_64/x86_64/. https://packages.vmware.com/photon/5.0/photon_updates_5.0_x86_64/x86_64/ contains the 2.7.0.11 version.

Reproduction steps

Reference https://vmware.github.io/photon/docs-v5/installation-guide/building-images/build-iso-from-source/build-the-iso/

installed prerequirements: tdnf install -y kpartx git bc build-essential createrepo_c texinfo wget python3-pip tar dosfstools cdrkit rpm-build

Expected behavior

successful make build.

Additional context

btw. Happy New Year to the Photon OS team !

Happy New Year to you too. K8s-dashboard has been fixed by commit fc8b74616862c54. sssd I was able to build successfully, can you try it again on latest commit. Also which version of photon machine are you building it on?

[dcasota]

@prashant1221 Awesome, Thank You.

The make build process finished successfully with 1029 packages - thanks to the bump up of kubernetes-dashboard as part of nodejs 20.10.0 and the sssd bump up as part of gnutls 3.7.10. got resolved, too.

The photon-5.0-b773ede33.x86_64.iso outcome is from a classic make build with no custom repos.

Some observations:

• on the photon os builder machine (5.0 GA):

  • (No temporarily packages anymore with sha naming scheme, seen in publish or source - cannot remember.)
  • The needed bump wasn't obvious, at least for me. From a lessons learned perspective I'm not sure if I would be able to identify the cause myself next time and know how to respond. Hence, multiple srpms of the same package made it to the iso: [autoconf-2.71-2, autoconf-2.71-3],[emacs-28.2-3, emacs-28.2-4],...
  • Main.log is empty.

• on the iso:

  • EULA VMware General Terms still from 16 June 2022
  • OPEN_SOURCE_LICENSEPHOTON.TX seems to have an issue as packages are missing or in multiple versions: e.g. Section 2:
  • e.g. docker-23.0.1 + docker-23.0.2 but no docker 24.0.1 (packaged)
  • kubernetes-dashboard-2.0.3 (not packaged, but mentioned) and kubernetes-dashboard-2.7.0 (packaged)
  • ...

I will close the issue within 3 days. Let me know if I can provide you with any further information.

Namaskar

fyi

• please, have a look to algorithm recommendations for openssh using ssh-audit, tdnf install -y python3-pip pip3 install ssh-audit ssh-audit 127.0.0.1. A few ciphers are listed as not recommended.
• minimal vm amount of ram is 824MB. With 768 mb ram (default e.g. in VMware by Broadcom Workstation 17.5) the vm installed with photon-5.0-b773ede33.x86_64.iso (minimal) crashes. A thing to remember: With 824mb ram only, you have strange effects e.g. lsmem shows total online memory of 896M, and setups like tdnf install -y awk libstdc++ curl https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh ollama serve & ollama run llama2 fail on step curl. minimal ram is for the docs.
• missing efi boot (shim-signed) support for baremetal boot btw. still that boot error message error: ../../grub-core/fs/fshelp.c:257:file 'boot/grub2/x86_64-efi/vbe.mod' not found

For k8s-dashboard, it was mistake from my side as I replaced the existing tarball hence there was shasum mismatch. We'll keep the 3 points in mind cc @tapakund @sshedi

please mind kubernetes-dashboard on ph4 branch as well
