Provide packages for more recent distributions

[md-5]

Jessie packages were provided whilst it was still testing for ages. It would be nice to have installable packages for testing in general, or at the least stretch.

Thanks.

[jwatzman]

Maybe in 6 months or so, but given the recent stable release of jessie, IMO testing is a huge moving target right now, basically the same as targeting sid. With jessie, even in the last few months leading up to its release, there were some major version bumps and other work that had to be done to keep the packages installable.

Stretch has gone stable. https://www.debian.org/News/2017/20170617

when it will support debian 9?

[fredemmott]

I've started to take a look, but it's spare-time only for now. If I don't get this done soon, I should almost certainly get this done October-December.

If I get it done soon, it'll be starting with 3.21 - 3.20 (and folly) are not compatible with OpenSSL 1.1, but it looks like the master is. While debian 9 includes 1.0 as well, several of our other dependencies require 1.1 on 9.

[fredemmott]

So the notes aren't only on my laptop:

git clone git@github.com:facebook/hhvm.git hhvm-nightly-2017.07.06
cd hhvm-nightly-2017.07.06
git checkout HHVM-3.20.2 # if doing release build
git submodule update --init --recursive
find . -name .git | xargs rm -rf
tar zcvf ../hhvm-nightly_2017.07.06.orig.tar.gz hhvm-nightly-2017.07.06 # Debian really cares about this naming

cd hhvm-nightly-2017.07.06
cp -R /path/to/packaging/hhvm/deb/stretch/debian debian/
apt-get install -y devscripts
sed -i 's/hhvm-nightly/hhvm/g' debian/control # if doing release
# Generate placeholder debian/changelog file
dch --create -v 2017.07.06-1~stretch --package hhvm-nightly --controlmaint --distribution stretch --force-distribution --empty
# Build a deb that depends on all the build-depends
mk-build-deps
# Install it, and dependencies
apt-get install -y ./hhvm-nightly-build-deps_2017.07.06-1~stretch_all.deb
# Remove it so that debuild doesn't complain below
rm hhvm-nightly-build-deps_2017.07.06-1~trusty_all.deb
# Build the packages
debuild -us -uc

webscalesqlclient in third-party needs updating to facebook/mysql-5.6#d26efe0d7763b6c9ba67a5cb42faebf075298b02 to support openssl 1.1

[fredemmott]

Also need OPENSSL_NO_SSL2 defined in HHVM itself (might end up being added to folly's openssl portability header)

[fredemmott]

hphp/runtime/ext/openssl/ext_openssl.cpp is somewhat incompatible with openssl 1.1

[fredemmott]

With diffs in flight, I have it compiling, but not linking.

[fredemmott]

Links now too.

[Neustradamus]

Any news for Debian 9 Stretch (stable) and Debian Buster (testing)?
Maybe to add unstable too?

[fredemmott]

I'm not able to spend more time on HHVM for another month or two; finishing off stretch at least is likely to be near the top of the list when I can.

That said, if you're happy to build yourself, last time I checked it will work if you update the 'webscalesql' (actually Facebook's MySQL fork nowadays) submodule in third-party/

[alex-mashin]

Still no Zesty version; what is worse, the Yakkety version will not install under Zesty because of unmet dependencies.

[alex-mashin]

Why is this bug closed? What has the-future-of-hhvm-as-hack-and-no-php got to do with packaging? Or is it a subtle way to say "Migrate back to PHP already"?

[fredemmott]

It's not closed, and that comment was not by a member of the team. Fixing this issue is one aspect of work on the build system I want to address by the end of the year

[fredemmott]

I have an end-to-working working package build system for stretch now, and I'm ~ 80% confident it will work for the newer versions of ubuntu too, but haven't tested.

TODO: make sure we're including all the 'extra' stuff that's included in the current packages, such as install-fastcgi.sh

[fredemmott]

[fredemmott]

Current state:

• building .debs for everything in the above screenshot
• actively working on wheezy and artful; wheezy is problematic because GCC is so old, artful is problematic because GCC is so new :p
• except for the "figure out the right CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS" parts, I /think/ artful is ready after facebook/hhvm@b506902

Big todo: actually publish/sign these debs in apt repos

Will hopefully be in tomorrow's automated builds - that's not from the 2017.11.03 tarball because that doesn't include the diff above.

• Replace ubuntu with debian in the add-apt-repository line below for debian squeeze support
• new GPG key
• dl2.hhvm.com is temporary, expect it to replace dl.hhvm.com shortly
