Stretch Debian Packages

[markus2330]

Elektra should provide Debian Packages for Stretch. Missing tasks:

• currently there is no way to download built packages. No webserver reachable at https://unstable.libelektra.org/elektra-stable/.
• stretch debian packages not provided: the stretch build job fails. (see details below)

https://build.libelektra.org/jenkins/job/elektra-git-buildpackage-stretch/60/consoleFull was the last working build:

Now signing changes and any dsc files...
 signfile dsc elektra_0.8.20-1.601.dsc Autobuilder <autobuilder@libelektra.org>

 fixup_buildinfo elektra_0.8.20-1.601.dsc elektra_0.8.20-1.601_amd64.buildinfo
 signfile buildinfo elektra_0.8.20-1.601_amd64.buildinfo Autobuilder <autobuilder@libelektra.org>

 fixup_changes dsc elektra_0.8.20-1.601.dsc elektra_0.8.20-1.601_amd64.changes
 fixup_changes buildinfo elektra_0.8.20-1.601_amd64.buildinfo elektra_0.8.20-1.601_amd64.changes
 signfile changes elektra_0.8.20-1.601_amd64.changes Autobuilder <autobuilder@libelektra.org>

Successfully signed dsc, buildinfo, changes files

Since then the builds fail with the error (for example in https://build.libelektra.org/jenkins/job/elektra-git-buildpackage-stretch/61/consoleFull):

Now signing changes and any dsc files...
 signfile dsc elektra_0.8.20-1.611.dsc Autobuilder <autobuilder@libelektra.org>
gpg: skipped "Autobuilder <autobuilder@libelektra.org>": No secret key

debsign: gpg error occurred!  Aborting....
debuild: fatal error at line 1045:

gbp:error: 'debuild -i -I -sa' failed: it exited with 29

Was the key somehow removed?

0.8.22 is a pseudo-milestone, it would be great to have the fix earlier.

@BernhardDenner Any update here?

[markus2330]

@ingwinlu Could you please write about the new Jenkinsfile in the release notes (as highlight 3). Please also write about that Debian Packages are again available and how to get them. (the main README.md needs to be updated, too) That would help a lot for the release!

EDIT: It is not the main README.md but doc/INSTALL.md

see also #1974

[ingwinlu]

What do you want changed in the main README.md? @markus2330

[markus2330]

I forgot that we moved the lines to doc/INSTALL.md.
