The currently included Qt has known security issues and is outdated. This
can now be replaced by downloading and installing the Qt installer using
the sudo= build field. @relan's provisioner system will also replace this
once that's done. There are only two apps that currently use the Qt stuff:
* csd.qtproject.minesweeper
* org.openorienteering.mapper
This rsync hung because of an SSH unknown key prompt. Since this is just
the vm host sshing to the vm guest, it is not essential to check the host
keys.
Update platform-25 to r03
Update platform-26 to r02
Add build-tools_r26.0.1
sha256 signatures locally computed after verifying the sha1 signature provided
by the repository2-1.xml file.
All these will be downloaded and installed in the buildserver through
provision-android-sdk anyway but this adds them to the cache.

"Our hard-coded image size meta-data (1000) is for some interpreted as less
than the size of the box-image by my kvm setup. This makes grub/initrd
refuse to boot. So I've changed the metadata size to 9999 which resulted in
an actually booting vm. I can log in on the builder-vm via virt-manager
and virsh.
`vagrant package` does not work with KVM, so we have to hack together our
own until someone implements it (suppose we should do it). This is a hacked
up version based on:
d7d440ea8f/tools/create_box.sh#238
This prevents v.destroy() from running if Vagrantfile.yaml does not exist,
since that is required for vagrant to run: is the core config including the
name of the box, etc. Otherwise, it would exit with an error.
This also does complete cleanup when using libvirt.
For people using slow, expensive, and/or flaky internet, liberal use of
caching can make a huge difference. The restricted environment of the
gpjenkins box has been a good test environment for this (Tor-only,
whitelist of allowed IPs to visit, home internet connection).
By running the whole program in a main() function, it can be wrapped in
try/finally in order to stop the background display thread. This is also
done in ./fdroid, its standard practice for Python CLI utilities.
I ran into some annoying issues with UTF-8 output in the vagrant logs, and
it was hard to solve. So I switched to using python-vagrant, which handles
it all for us. Its been around since 2012, has a number of contributors,
and is still actively maintained, so it seems like a good bet. I also
packaged it for Debian, including a backport in jessie-backports.
On Debian/jessie, do `apt-get install python3-vagrant/jessie-backports`
No point in running any other code if the script is just going to bail
out with an error. This assumes that ./makebuildserver is only ever
run from a git clone of fdroidserver.git.
VirtualBox runs as the same user as `fdroid`, so the cache does not need to
be accessible by the world. On libvirt, libvirtd runs the VMs as its own
user, so in that case, the cache dirs must have permissions to let that
user access them.
buildserver running in qemu/kvm to support KVM on KVM
jenkins.debian.net runs in QEMU/KVM instances, so in order to run the F-Droid buildserver there, it needs to work inside of a KVM guest. The best way I found to do that is to create QEMU/KVM instances via KVM's "nested" virtualization support. This collection of commits enables using QEMU/KVM as the buildserver when `./makebuildserver` detects that it is running inside of KVM. Otherwise, the old behavior is default: running in VirtualBox.
I have run these tests inside of ubuntu/16.04 on bare metal, which uses VirtualBox, and ubuntu/16.04 KVM guest, which uses QEMU/KVM. It'll also run on the Guardian Project jenkins box, which is Debian/jessie.

For running in QEMU/KVM guests like on jenkins.debian.net, this sets up the
whole process automatically. This only really covers the case where this
is running in a KVM guest, and the original case of running VirtualBox on
bare metal. It could be extended to cover more cases if someone wanted to.
This is the last thing using Chef, which adds a lot of time to the time it
takes to fully provision the buildserver. This slows down development on
the things we are actually using, like running all builds on
jenkins.debian.net.
#210#165
This reverts commit 82d09560c6.
It doesn't work - the setup scripts are expecting a ".bin" file (which
is apparently a 7z archive), but what's actually got is a ".zip".
Conflicts:
buildserver/provision-android-ndk
Without this, running makebuildserver from a clean master results in the
following:
$ ./makebuildserver
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./makebuildserver", line 74, in <module>
del(config['__builtins__']) # added by compile/exec
KeyError: '__builtins__'
This is because a clean checkout has no config, thus exec is never
actually ran.
Amusingly, the commit changed more than just this so a simple git revert
is not possible.
The problem is that the zip is replaced with each point release (24.0.1
at the time of writing) and there is no way to get a URL to a single,
non-changing version. Hence any caching or checksums are completely
worthless and will break every few weeks.
Vagrantfile is now committed and not changed between configurations. It is
configed by translating the python config file's dict to a YAML file, which
Vagrantfile now loads and uses. This makes it a lot easier for vagrant
users and python programmers to understand, and hopefully makes it easier
to maintain and test with.
Python can easily output dicts as YAML, and a Vagrantfile is a ruby script,
which can easily read YAML. Going this route means that Vagrantfile can
ultimately be committed to git, and the configuration will happen all via
Python dicts output as YAML. That makes it drastically easier to follow
the code, and to make modifications.
easy_install does not provide any download caching, while pip does. This
also moves the python module installing a shell script that takes python
packages as args. That will allow for future uses like allowing app
metadata to include pip modules that they need.
