Public bug reported: livecd-rootfs v2.700 in hirsute introduced a fix to produce unpacked artifacts for use by multipass on macOS hosts. These hosts require direct access to a kernel and initrd to boot the buildd images.
See: https://git.launchpad.net/livecd- rootfs/commit/?id=065c82314464fa78337d5122e1d4826a7d6edbb0 This change needs to be backported to all suites. [Impact] * Without this change, users are unable to use the buildd images with multipass on macOS hosts. Snapcraft utilizes multipass to build snaps, so this blocks macOS users from building snaps. As a workaround, the CPC team is manually extracting these artifacts and publishing them to cloud-images.ubuntu.com. This is not ideal for the long-term, and could result in breakage in the event that the CPC team forgets to manually publish these artifacts. [Test Case] * After this change lands, a user should be able to build images with the ubuntu-base project and buildd subproject, and the resulting build should produce extracted kernel and initrd artifacts. [Where problems could occur] * These changes are minor, but a mistake could result in broken buildd image hooks (where the build fails) or broken buildd image artifacts (where the images don't work as expected). * Since all buildd images are manually tested by the launchpad team, multipass team, and snapcraft team before they enter production, the risk of introducing breakage for end users is low. ** Affects: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1910557 Title: Buildd images do not launch on macOS under multipass due to missing unpacked kernels and initrd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/1910557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
