There are no resource limits on the container, so I have no idea what goes wrong here.

We may need to add some note then that it's "community supported" or something.
I build the image and somewhat maintain the flavor, but it doesn't receive nearly as much attention as the GNOME flavor does and any issue report there as a really low priority for me.

Thank you for the feature request, but unfortunately we'll definitely not have cdrtools in PureOS.
There has been an old fight about its license change which I really don't want to start again. Also, the legal situation didn't really change and Debian, the FSF and Red Hat all agree on this particular legal issue.
Plus, to put it frankly, Jörg Schilling is one of the least fun upstream developers one could ever deal with.

Well, the message was a false and the actual culprit was a SQL query failing. The cause of that is fixed now, so this shouldn't happen again (but if it does, I'll look into it again). Not sure why exactly the database was in a wrong state though, but that's really hard to figure out at this point.
That's why the issue is resolved.

mak closed T784: source upload rejected with "*_source.changes is already known" as Resolved.

@jonas.smedegaard No, I mean the same file (without it being rebuilt) was apparently already uploaded and rejected before. Dak hashes the files to not process the same, already rejected upload multiple times (even if it has different names) - and to prevent people from just uploading the same thing over and over again.
That said, this case is really strange, as the upload actually wasn't known before, as far as I can see in the database.
I forced the package in now, it is available in the landing suite now (and will be built soon), but I'll keep an eye on this issue - could maybe be a bug in dak.

mak added a comment to T784: source upload rejected with "*_source.changes is already known".

According to dak and the SHA256 hash of the package, the upload is indeed already known and would just be rejected again - can you rebuild the package again and do another upload?
TBH it is *really* weird that the package is rejected, as I would expect to find the originally rejected upload in the rejected queue, but that doesn't appear to be there.
So if your next upload doesn't succeed, let me know immediately! (I also made dak forget about the last upload attempt).

however landing already has version 0.0.2.
Uploads to landing must have a higher version than present in landing.

@guido You're absolutely right, sorry - I was confusing the .dsc and .changes files somehow (the former already has all the necessary information).
Apparently the architecture in your previous changes file was not (only) set to source, and therefore a non-source upload was suumed, which does required the Binary field.
Anyway, to make some progress on this, can you please attempt another upload? I am curious at what dak has to say to that, and if it gets rejected again, I can debug the issue further looking directly into dak to determine why it things the package is unsuitable.

@Gnutella If it's just changes like a different slideshow, icon, colors and logo image then yes, that's possible - I already did that once.
That said, the GNOME flavor is currently the focus of development, the Plasma flavor is less well maintained (so focusing on GNOME as long as it doesn't completely break the Plasma installations would also be fair).

This is not a bug in the archive. Source-only uploads are allowed, but the .changes file of this package apparently misses the mandatory Binary field and is therefore rejected. Not sure what caused this though, there might be an issue in the packages' build process somewhere.

Attempting a sync, seeing it fail and then needing to do a manual rebuild is not efficient and can not be reliably automated. Attempting a sync which works but has a decent chance of introducing breakage which can be avoided by a rebuild is not wise.
By always rebuilding packages synced from foreign suites we get a 100% automatable process that saves human work and avoids the introduction of errors due to binaries being built in the wrong environment, even if they are rare.

@jeremiah.foster The data on this URL lists which packages are in certain seeds and why. Some might be explicitly requested, while others are implicitly added via dependencies of packages that were not explicitly requested to be in the default set.
A "standard" PureOS installation consists of the "minimal", "standard" and a desktop seed (e.g. "gnome"), while the desktop seed is itself comprised of a common platform seed ("desktop-common") combined with a desktop specific one ("gnome" or "plasma").
So, if you want to know what is explicitly added to the GNOME flavor of PureOS, https://master.pureos.net/raw/germinate/pureos.green/gnome.seedtext could be interesting, while tables like https://master.pureos.net/raw/germinate/pureos.green/gnome also contain implicitly added stuff and sizes.

Btw, gksu will not work at all on Wayland as wayland does not allow GUI apps to be run as root without some reconfiguration (which intentionally isn't done), and on Xorg I guess it's just broken because nobody looks at its code anymore.
So, I think we should just close this bug.

@jonas.smedegaard Apparently gksu wasn't auto-removed from PureOS because sbackup had a dependency on it. That package itself is cruft though, so I just dropped both from the archive.
Interestingly, sbackup was not considered for autoremoval in PureOS, I will have to take a closer look at why that happened later (my guess is that it has something to do with the package being NMU'ed and building only arch:all binary packages).

Syncing from unstable is just flipping a switch. But we need to know if we *want* to do that. Unstable won't get many package changes during the freeze period either.
Autosyncing with experimental is a terrible idea, because experimental packages may just get deleted without ever reaching unstable. There is also a lot of broken stuff in there which we really don't want in PureOS (experimental is really just a playground with zero QA happening).
So, stuff from experimental should only ever be synced manually and if there is a good reason for doing so.

mak added a comment to T716: Don't install Kodi by default.

@jeremiah.foster Kodi was added on request of your predecessor because the initial PureOS had it and PureOS was supposed to be "complete" (including a mediacenter).
IMHO we don't actually need it since people can easily install missing pieces via GNOME Software.

mak added a comment to T700: unspecified which installer is currently stable and released, and what versions of which packages it contains.

Just to elaborate on that: The pureos-*installer executables are either compatibility scripts or helper scripts that change installer configuration to the OEM settings. All of them eventually will launch Calamares.

4TB disks/partitions can not be supported, unless we switch from BIOS to UEFI with GPT support, or adding GPT support to the Librem's BIOS by other means.

@jeremiah.foster Currently I manually trigger builds by running a command on the archive server. I could likely give you access to that with permission of the sysadmins. Since the automated builds might be very slow though and the system will override the previous image in case there is more than one image build on the same day, I think that you might be happier with a manual image build.

@chris.lamb Ah, so you just want Git commit updates? That's a way easier thing to do, I assumed you wanted notifications about any archive changes and bugtracker changes.

mak added a comment to T375: Please make a dev/pureos/changes nofications Matrix/Riot room.

@chris.lamb For the Laniakea changes, I now put my own status-tracking document into the repository, so it is more obvious on why making such a change takes so long: https://github.com/lkorigin/laniakea/blob/master/docs/porting-status.md#status
I won't extend the existing codebase much (except for bugfixes) and instead just work on the new component versions for now, which unfortunately means very slow progress for a while.
As for the room itself, I can't comment on that, that's sysadmin business.

mak added a comment to T700: unspecified which installer is currently stable and released, and what versions of which packages it contains.

@jeremiah.foster There isn't a formal testing process. I check whether the system boots, installs and runs through the initial setup and the initial experience looks okay. Others do that as well on different hardware, and if nobody reports any major issues, the image is good to go.
If there was a particular change on the installer or initial setup that might have broken something, I will look at that change in more detail to see if really everything works as expected.
But that's about it, nothing fancy (or even structured) is currently happening.

Ehhh... What?
The latest release on https://downloads.pureos.net/ is the current one, and once it has been tested the released one (which should happen very quickly, ideally). If a release is considered broken, it is either removed or a more recent one is built.
Each and every image build is accompanied by a .packages files which lists the contained packages and their versions in details. See https://downloads.pureos.net/live/gnome/2019-02-10/pureos-8.0-gnome-live_20190210-amd64.packages for example.
There are also detailed file listings of stuff included in the installation images, as well as a build log and checksums (the former of which also contains all information on package versions).

mak added a comment to T697: Please add a "current" symlink to https://downloads.puri.sm/live/gnome/.

At the moment we deliberately don't point the downloads page just to the "latest" image, because it makes sense to do at least some basic testing before throwing out an image as default download. And in that case, the page may just as well point at the latest image.

@chris.lamb Odd, I didn't get an email for your reply to this ticket...
Anyway, my message in the chat was just that I wouldn't be able to work on it before/at FOSDEM, if there was any noteworthy thing I would have updated the ticket.
On the good side though, the changes are in green since this Saturday/Sunday, so everyone affected: Please upgrade your PureOS installations and check whether the issue is actually solved!
(I'll mark this as fixed meanwhile, but feel free to reopen if the issue persists)

Looks like the migration is blocked because it would break some older localization packages.

mak added a comment to T155: apt-file reports that the cache is empty.

It's still on my todo list, but with a low priority, so it pretty much is at the bottom of the queue every time something else of higher importance is added.
Since we have AppStream and this feature isn't one of the most popular ones, its priority is low.
However, it is fixable and I intend to do so when the infrastructure redesign is applied.

Yeah, unfortunately the Librems are very often shipped with old software, Polywell didn't stay up-to-date with new releases. But issues like we had recently with the OEM setup of course also don't help with these issues.

Hmm yeah, then the PureOS version installed on that machine is likely very old.
In any case, after you update your system the issue will go away completely.

This is a task on my list, but it will take a lot of work and time to resolve properly. Dak isn't really designed for this, so some changes will be needed (just a normal dinstall run currently takes more than an hour alone).
