[Touch-packages] [Bug 2022927] Re: Busybox mount fails to mount Snaps
Debian is at 1.36 already, but without your change landing upstream that doesn't help us :-/ (This was released before on January 2023 anyway) The upstream contribubution was nice, but stalled with http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2023-March/090211.html It didn't come up again in April-June :-/ Was there any follow up to avoid this being Ubuntu delta forever? Especially with something that changes behavior so that e.g. guides and howtos would behave differently between linux variants you'd usually want upstreams buy-in to avoid maintenance nightmare. Would you mind following up with them and summarizing here about that progress to get it upstream?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 2022927] Re: Busybox mount fails to mount Snaps
Hi Lucas, thanks for the assistance. Here's the .debdiff without the ~ppa2 suffix. I opted to go with ubuntu2 because it's not really a security fix, so I wasn't sure if it's really appropriate to add the security .1 suffix. The .debdiff is valid for both lunar and mantic, as mantic is still using the same version as lunar (see https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/busybox/tree/debian/changelog?h=ubuntu/mantic), and still has the same series. Our customer doesn't need jammy, so we don't need to go through the SRU process for this - just getting it into the latest development release is fine. ** Patch added: "busybox-1.35.0-4ubuntu2.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/busybox/+bug/2022927/+attachment/5680138/+files/busybox-1.35.0-4ubuntu2.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to busybox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2022927 Title: Busybox mount fails to mount Snaps Status in busybox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Snapd tries to mount squashfs Snaps with non-standard mount flags like "x-gdu.hide" and "x-gvfs-hide", both of which are used to indicate to userspace programs that a given mount should not be shown in a list of mounted partitions/filesystems.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 2022927] Re: Busybox mount fails to mount Snaps
Thanks for the updates Isaac, it looks much better now. The only thing I spotted that would require correction before uploading is fixing the version string, you are using 1:1.35.0-4ubuntu2~ppa2 and I'd recommend using 1:1.35.0-4ubuntu1.1. The ppa part is not wanted in an upload to the archive, and instead of ubuntu2 I'd use ubuntu1.1 to follow the security team updates guidelines: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation FWIW you could also use ubuntu2 as well. Apart from that, your patch is targeting only lunar, but in your PPA I see the package built in mantic, lunar and jammy. If you want to fix the other series, please, provide debdiffs for them as well.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 2022927] Re: Busybox mount fails to mount Snaps
Hi Bryce, Great, thanks for the advice. I've made the changes you requested (and updated the patch after I realised it was an older version...) and I'm testing it now. I'll upload the .debdiff once I'm done. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to busybox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2022927 Title: Busybox mount fails to mount Snaps Status in busybox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Snapd tries to mount squashfs Snaps with non-standard mount flags like "x-gdu.hide" and "x-gvfs-hide", both of which are used to indicate to userspace programs that a given mount should not be shown in a list of mounted partitions/filesystems.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 2022927] Re: Busybox mount fails to mount Snaps
Hi Isaac, I'm at end of my shift so don't have time for a full review, just a few notes before I hand-off to the next patch pilot: - In your changelog entry, please reference this bug report, i.e.: - I'd recommend making your PPA version be "1:1.35.0-4ubuntu2~ppa5" - Name your patch "mount-ignore-x-options" as "mount-ignore-x- options.patch" - I'd strongly recommend including DEP3 headers on your patch. See https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep3/. If you refer to the busybox patch static-sh-alias.patch you can see a good example of this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to busybox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2022927 Title: Busybox mount fails to mount Snaps Status in busybox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Snapd tries to mount squashfs Snaps with non-standard mount flags like "x-gdu.hide" and "x-gvfs-hide", both of which are used to indicate to userspace programs that a given mount should not be shown in a list of mounted partitions/filesystems.

The attachment "busybox-1.35.0-4ubuntu1ppa5.debdiff" seems to be a debdiff. The ubuntu-sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. If the attachment isn't a patch, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are member of the ~ubuntu-sponsors, unsubscribe the team.
