Bug#1035567: debootstrap: Does not support APT repositories with modern split arch:all support

[Matthias Klumpp]

Package: debootstrap
X-Debbugs-Cc: m...@debian.org
Version: 1.0.128+nmu2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,
currently debootstrap fails to work with APT repositories that have
arch:all split out exclusively into a separate Packages file, instead
of having arch:all merged into every arch:any Packages file in archive
metadata.
APT has already been supporting the new scheme for multiple releases,
so it would be nice if debootstrap supported it too (so far, it is the
only tool I found that doesn't do that). This would enable us in
PureOS to use the new APT repository style, as well as potentially
other derivatives and Debian itself in future as well.

The APT repository format (for both styles and the current
"compatibility mode" that the Debian archive runs on) is described
here: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Format#Architectures

I attached a patch which implements support for this feature in
debootstrap. So far it has been working find for bootstrapping both
Debian (with the "compatibility" archive metadata mode) as well as a
PureOS scratch repository which uses the newer-style APT repository
mode.

You can also review this patch as MR @ Salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debootstrap/-/merge_requests/92

Thank you for considering!
I've set this bug as "normal", since I do consider bringing
debootstrap on-par with what features APT supports for a while as
important, but feel free to reduce it to "whishlist" priority if you
think that is more appropriate for a feature request like this.

With kind regards,
Matthias Klumpp

Looks like we simply didn't generate data for that architecture. I've
added it to the list, as data should be created for all architectures
that Debian supports officially.
See 
https://salsa.debian.org/pkgutopia-team/debian-asgen-config/-/commit/6de08ba2795f39b7171315d580201f1040afd9b7

It will take a few hours, depending on how the archive syncs up even a
day, for changes to take effect.

Cheers,
Matthias

So, long story short: A DEP-11 metadata file is only created if the
archive component that it's built for actually has metadata (any file
in /usr/share/metainfo or /usr/share/applications). If there is no
metadata, no file is created, not even an empty one.
The reason why "sid" has one is because I forced the creation of an
empty file, since having nothing there completely broke tracker.d.o
and we needed a quick fix (and I also thought it was a permanent one).
Looks like I misjudged that and also other parts of our infrastructure
rely on the files' existence.

So, Ideally other tools should be fixed to not break if the file isn't
there, or only break if the file *was* there and vanished (because
that shouldn't happen), or I could make a change on the generator to
always generate a file, even if no input data is present, depending on
what seems like the better way to go.

Cheers,
Matthias

The "staging" suite is an incomplete suite, just like Debian
experimental (so it might not make sense anymore to have it
bootstrapable).
Try the "dasyatis" suite instead, which is the current development
target and next stable release - that should work.

If that's the normal procedure, I'll polish the package a little and
then upload it to Debian. Thanks for the suggestion, that would make
bootstrapping on Debian and other derivatives even easier.

Cheers,
Matthias

Hi!
It's been a while (almost 6 months) since the last patch, and we meanwhile
released chromodoris and are working on the next release, dasyatis.
I updated the patch to reflect that change.
Would be cool if it could get included in the official debootstrap package
at Debian!

Re: Bug#782475: Bug#787542: libudev1-udeb depends on missing libcap2

[Matthias Klumpp]

 Sorry for the delay, I was AFK until just now.

 I've prepared a quick upload consisting of only Matthias' patch, minus
 the superfluous d/shlibs.local as discussed in Michael's follow-up to
 the patch.

 I do still need a sponsor, though. For whomever is willing to act as
 such, a source package can be obtained from the following link,

 http://www.kvr.at/debian/pool/main/libc/libcap2/libcap2_2.24-9.dsc

 or, alternatively, via the git repo

 git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/libcap2.git

 using gbp.

 Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.

Looks fine to me and builds  works fine as well :) - I could sponsor
the package this evening, if there are no objections.
Since this has to go through NEW, we probably want to get some
ftpmaster into the loop to get the package processed faster than
usual...
Cheers,
Matthias

Re: Bug#787542: libudev1-udeb depends on missing libcap2

[Matthias Klumpp]

2015-06-02 18:11 GMT+02:00 Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org:
 Package: libudev1-udeb
 Version: 218-1
 Severity: grave
 Tags: d-i
 Justification: renders package unusable

 (Please keep debian-boot@lists.debian.org cc'ed.)

 Hi,

 libudev1-udeb depends on missing libcap2. I suspect the easiest would be
 to drop libcap2 support from the udeb build. An alternative would be to
 try and add a udeb in libcap2. I'd rather have the former happen, so
 that we could think of releasing an alpha 1 for d-i soonish. The latter
 can happen afterwards if relevant/wished for etc.

 Would be better with a coffee, but iterating over debsnap's output for
 amd64 binaries, this dependency seems to have present since 218-1.

FYI, a while ago I reported this bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=782475
We are using the new libcap2-udeb in Tanglu already for a while[1],
without experiencing any problems, so adding it to Debian might be a
good idea.
(Removing it from udev would be a pretty invasive change, as far as I
remember when looking at it back then)

Cheers,
Matthias

Bug#771687: debootstrap: Please add support for the Tanglu derivative

[Matthias Klumpp]

Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.66
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi!
Could you please add support for the Tanglu[1] Debian derivative?
This includes three suites at time:
 * Aequorea
 * Bartholomea
 * Chromodoris
I have a patch attached which adds Tanglu support.
I also attched a second patch which we apply at Tanglu, which just adds a nicer
message if debootstrap is failing to create device nodes.
You might want to consider that one as well (if wanted, I could also file a
separate bug for it).
Thank you for your work on Debootstrap!
Cheers,
Matthias

 Michael Biebl bi...@debian.org (2014-08-11):

 A minimal installation should still pull sysvinit-core as it is the
 first alternative in init.

 Since that's not happening I'm going to guess that systemd-sysv's
 priority being higher than sysvinit-core's might be the important (no
 pun intended) difference here. I'll try to confirm/infirm that later on.

 Ansgar just confirmed that it is indeed the prio bump to important he
 made yesterday which causes debootstrap to pull in systemd-sysv by default.
 According to Ansgar, debootstrap installs everything having prio
 important or higher.
We have exactly the same behaviour in the Tanglu Debian-derivative,
which is using systemd for some time now.
However, d-i has some issues there (insserv loop, which nobody was
able to resolve yet) - we are not really sure about the cause yet, but
since systemd was by far the biggest difference between Tanglu and
Debian so far, the init transition might be playing a role there.
I will try as well to build d-i on Debian this week, to rule out any
systemd-sideeffects.
Cheers,
Matthias

Bug#667703: Mostly solved (was Re: Filed (Re: Preinstalled package manager(s) for PCs (wheezy)))

[Matthias Klumpp]

Hi!
How odd that I didn't notice that bug... (I'm the GPK/PK maintainer)
Well, I think pulling in Synaptic on KDE might be a bad idea, probably
KDE desktop packages should pull in Apper instead, a KDE package
manager based on PackageKit and fully integrated into the KDE desktop.
It does not provide all functions of Synaptic, but for most users it
will be good enough and KDE can avoid pulling in many GNOME packages.
About the GNOME side: I already splitted up the GNOME-PackageKit
package, but I didn't upload the changes to unstable. Splitting the
package means that you will be able to install some components of GPK
(the update manager, software manager and helper tools) independently
from each other. This might be useful in the current situation. (so
only the parts of GPK which are needed are present and people can use
Synaptic for other things. E.g. the update-manager can bes used with
Synaptic, and people don't have two package managers installed)
Don't think uploading the splitted version at time would be a good
idea, so I think the current solution is okay, if the GNOME team wants
it. (which seems to be the case)
Thanks for the attention :-)
Cheers,
   Matthias

 Joey Hess changed tasks to bring Synaptic in KDE, LXDE and Xfce. Only the
 GNOME situation is unchanged (Josselin Mouette alleged that gnome already
 pulls in Synaptic).
 tasksel 3.10 should migrate to testing shortly.
