Status of ‘staging’ branch?

Status of ‘staging’ branch?

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guix!

Apparently ‘staging’ is fully built on i686/x86_64.  Should we merge it?

I’d like to start building ‘core-updates’ now (we’re 6 days late :-)),
but we should get ‘staging’ out of the way first.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I think we can start building the 'core' package set now, no? Does it
include dbus/glib?

There are a quite a few ruby packages failing after the switch to 2.4:

https://hydra.gnu.org/eval/109665?compare=master#tabs-now-fail

We also have test failures in "lightdm" and "sssd":

https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2084542
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2085014

(I can't reproduce the grub failure - luckily ;-))

I'm okay with merging now and dealing with the rest on 'master', but
would suggest trying to fix (some of) them first while we wait for the
'core' evaluation on Hydra. WDYT?

Actually, I can't reproduce the sssd failure either.

So, we have a bunch of failing ruby libraries, and lightdm (which
doesn't yet have a service, so should not break any system
configurations).

I will try to sort out some of the ruby stuff this weekend, but feel
free to merge it earlier!

I’d say let’s give people a couple of days to fix more problems, and
then merge!

Thanks,

Staging freeze

[Leo Famulari]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 455 bytes --]

The last staging branch was merged into the master branch on December
11.

According to the 3 week staging cycle we are trying to adhere to [0],
this would mean we freeze the current branch on December 25 and try to
merge it on January 1.

These dates are inconvenient for many people. I propose we freeze the
branch and start building on December 27, and try to merge on January 3.

Update:

We are having some issues with the armhf and mips64el build machines
that are keeping us from building all the packages.

That should be more or less solved.

I’ve just merged ‘master’ into ‘staging’ and started a new evaluation.

Let’s fix build failures on ‘staging’!

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guix!

Looking at
<https://hydra.gnu.org/eval/109427?compare=master#tabs-now-fail> we have
a few new failures:

  • Ardour fails its ‘configure’ phase
    https://hydra.gnu.org/build/1749839

  • there’s 1 tests failure in python2-pygpgme (breaks many things)
    https://hydra.gnu.org/build/1752661

  • kcrash fails to run its test with Xvfb (breaks all of KDE)
    https://hydra.gnu.org/build/1750201

  • NSS test failure on ARM (breaks many things)
    https://hydra.gnu.org/build/1749670

  • python2-pillow test failures on ARM
    https://hydra.gnu.org/build/1751907

  • ENOSPC on mips64el
    https://hydra.gnu.org/build/1742430

Let’s fix those!

All these failures appear to be something timing out, like this:

nose.plugins.multiprocess.TimedOutException: 'TestFileJpeg.test_subsampling'

So I just restarted it.

I'm not sure about this. How about we revert the update on staging and
create an nss-updates branch with the latest release, 3.28.1?

Yes it would probably be safer, unless the previous version has security
issues of course.

None that I know of. In any case, we should work on merging this staging
branch, and I'll create the nss-updates branch later tonight.
