Switch to the built-in rpm-ostree rechunker #276
Comments
|
We're currently using hhd-dev/rechunk to split our images into smaller layers, making updates easier to download. rpm-ostree has recently added built-in support for rechunking. A general rule-of-thumb for bluefin-lts has been to miminise the number of external dependencies. These include ensuring all packages added are either in EPEL or ublue-os/staging. Personally, I don't see GitHub Actions being very different - using the vendor's own actions should be preferred. As @tulilirockz mentioned, there are a couple downsides, but this provides a more supported method of rechunking, so it seems like a good switch to me |

The test image we did with that PR seems to not boot right now because of (maybe) some SELinux issue with Dbus.

Alright, managed to debug a few things. This is for sure not SELinux causing it. Might be something to do with how the image is extracted into a rootfs?

The dbus-broker one should be fixed in the latest images, see https://gitlab.com/fedora/bootc/base-images/-/merge_requests/107 |

The invalid user name one is probably the sysusers bug |
I dont really see anything wrong with the current rechunker but id much rather rely on upstream doing it than
hhd-dev. Got this implemented on #275 and honestly it just seems like a no-brainer to me. It currently has some downsides tho, that being that it is a bit less intelligent (because it doesnt group commonly used packages) and it doesnt have a few selinux workarounds that hhd-dev/rechunk has.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
