Add example of using livemedia-creator inside GitHub Actions #1374
Conversation
|
The action finally builds! I didn't realize the @anaconda-tools was required in packages, that took a bit to figure out. The one catch is when I try to install the iso to virt-manager, it skips the install screen and jumps straight to asking for a user/pass. Is that expected? Is there a way to still force a install? |
|
I think I found it, I was missing the 'firstboot' flag here. It's going through the build process now, and I'll try to install it tomorrow then mark the PR as ready. This is the first ks I've made, so any suggestions are welcomed! |
|
I can't get the firstboot flag to work. Instead of taking you to the setup screen, it takes you to the user login screen. Any idea what I might be missing? I tried a few ideas locally, and nothing worked. I'm not sure if this is related, but the "Test this Media" option at startup would fail too, "checkisomd5@*.service failed to start". |
|
I'm not sure what's going on with firstboot and the checksum. I almost never use firstboot so I'm not sure of the current state of it in Anaconda. A few suggestions for this PR:

The only trigger I have at the top is
Good idea, done!
I added something real basic, but wasn't sure what else to add. Is there any extra info/clarifying you'd like added?
Cool that one works! I deleted the example I added. Originally I tried the |

I realized it was possible for the host release to drift away from the release you're building since it was The build failed since this is the first time I ran it after deleting the old ks file, there was still a path to it in one spot. I made that path a input variable too to help with changes in the future. |
Is this something I can do? Everything I can find says the option appears when you click the merge button. If it doesn't, there's some settings you can adjust under the branch protection rules to make it appear and/or force it to happen every time.
If my theories right, here's something you can modify/paste into the box that appears on merging Added example of how to use livemedia-creator in github actions, and still build in fedora.
Inputs:
- fedora_release: Both the release to build, and build on. Since we use '--no-virt', they must be the same.
- kickstart_path: The path to the kickstart file to build from. |

No, you should squash things locally then force-push to your branch. Something like this should work: You will be presented with a 'menu' of commits to apply and an action to take. Change all but the first to 'squash', save the file, and then edit the commit message -- it will have the text from all the squashed commits included, just change it to what you posted above. Then you should be able to push to your branch, but using |

Remove some unneccessary storage packages from runtime-install
Anaconda already depends on following packages:
- filesystem tools: btrfs-progs, ntfs-3g, ntfsprogs, jfsutils,
f2fs-tools, xfsprogs, dosfstools, e2fsprogs
- libblockdev-lvm-dbus
- udisks2-iscsi

Adjust runtime-postinstall.tmpl for systemd config files move
Systemd config files were moved from /etc to /usr/lib/systemd,
so this snippet fails. Instead of editing the config file, just create
a drop-in snippet with the desired configuration.
Add python3-libdnf5 to the list of test packages
This allows 'make test-in-podman' to work.
libdnf5: Switch lorax to use libdnf5
At some point libdnf5 will be replacing libdnf. It is written in C++
with a SWIG interface, so accessing the API is quite different than
before.
This changes the template parser to use libdnf5 to install packages and
remove files. Tests pass, and building the boot.iso is working.
This simplifies the download callback a bit, we no longer have any idea what the total
download size is, so just print the package count and any errors.
The transaction callback logs install and script events.
Fix writing out debug info for package files and sizes
spec: Switch to using python3-libdnf5
Updates for latest libdnf5 changes
test-packages: Make sure python3-libdnf5 is installed
ltmpl: Add transaction error handling
dnfbase: Fix url substitution support
This fixes support for using $releasever (set by lorax --version) and
$basearch (set from the host machine type or from lorax --buildarch) in
the repo urls.
test: Add pigz to test-packages
ltmpl: Filter out other arches, clean up naming
Because of the way the template filter is implemented it was picking up
i686 packages along with the x86_64 ones. This adds an arch filter that
only includes the basearch packages and 'noarch'.
Also clean up the naming in install_pkg

test-in-podman: Fix problem running in github actions
Something is different when running rawhide (Fedora 40) using podman on
GitHub. rsync has started returning errors about setting permissions.
Work around this by passing `--no-perms` to rsync, it still works fine
locally and clears up whatever the issue is with the action.
ltmpl: Remove duplicate package objects from dnf5 results
In dnf5 if you have multiple repositories with overlapping content, and
the repo priorities are the same (eg. the default of 99) it will return
multiple results with the same nevra. The transaction will fail when
trying to install the duplicate rpms.
This de-duplicates the results from `_pkgver`, assuming that packages
with the same nevra and repo priority are interchangeable.
Note that this only works at an individual `installpkg` level, not across
the whole transaction. So it is possible for separate `installpkg`
commands that select the same package to cause a crash -- currently this
is not an issue, but is something to fix in the future.
Includes a duplicate package in the ltmpl test to make sure this stays
fixed.

ltmpl: Check for errors after running the transaction
Thanks to the discussion in
rpm-software-management/dnf5#1074 lorax will
now correctly log installation size errors like:
The transaction process has ended abruptly:
installing package llvm-libs-17.0.6-2.fc40.x86_64 needs 107MB more space on the / filesystem
installing package libXv-1.0.12-1.fc40.x86_64 needs 107MB more space on the / filesystem
installing package libXcomposite-0.4.6-1.fc40.x86_64 needs 107MB more space on the / filesystem
runtime-install: Work around problem with conflicting packages
See:
rpm-software-management/dnf5#1111
dnf5 is returning anaconda-install-img-deps for 2 arches even though the
noarch version number is lower than the x86_64 package.
Work around this by selecting version 40.15 or later.

ltmpl: Pass packages to add_rpm_install as strings
According to the discussion in:
rpm-software-management/dnf5#1090 (comment)
dnf5 handles NEVRA strings and package objects differently. So instead
of passing in objects pass in the full NEVRA string. If a single install
command has duplicates this won't matter, I already remove the dupes.
But it should prevent problems where separate install commands end up
selecting duplicate packages.

ltmpl: Handle installing provides with resolve_pkg_spec
Previously the installpkg command used filter_match to select packages,
which works great most of the time. It fails when the package is only
available as a provide. This happened recently with wget moving to
wget2-wget, causing builds to fail because it couldn't find wget.
This changes installpkg to use the resolve_pkg_spec function, which as
it happens also support globs and version comparison operators. DNF
doesn't like the `==` operator, but I have retained support for it by
translating it to a single `=`. I have dropped support for `=>` and `=<`
since they are never used and are and odd way to specify `>=` and `>=`
which of course still work.

I tried a few times but couldn't figure out why the squash wasn't working. I thought I was using the wrong commit, so I tried HEAD~<numer_of_commits> too, no luck. I updated my branch with your master a few times, so maybe those in the middle are what were added? Out of curiosity too, is there a down side to squishing on merge through GitHub's button? Also if it works with you, I created a new branch real fast and just "created" the file in that. It's this PR: #1382. If it works, that's probably faster than trying to untangle that last commit above. Thanks! |

Yeah, the default for github is to make merge commits, which I can't stand :) So just making a clean branch is fine. |
