Cosmic (Ubuntu 18.10) packaging?

[csdougliss]

I can't see it in https://dl.hhvm.com/ubuntu/dists/

• add build configuration
• create apt repository configuration
• manually trigger a build of yesterday's nightly
• add to automated nightly builds when that works
• add to latest release builds after nightly builds are stable
• investigate cherry-picking support to 3.27

[fredemmott]

create apt repository configuration

1. create an ubuntu 14.04 instance in us-west-2a (must be 2a, or can't mount EBS). Select us-west-2a by selecting subnet
2. attach EBS from AWS control panel
3. mkdir /mnt/dl.hhvm.com; mount /dev/xvdf /media/dl.hhvm.com
4. apt update
5. apt install -y reprepro awscli
6. Decrypt and import the gpg key with something similar to aws kms decrypt --ciphertext-blob "fileb://$(pwd)/gpg-key.kms-ciphertext" --query Plaintext --output text | base64 -d | gpg --import
7. gpg --export-secret-keys -a | gpg2 --import
8. Update /media/dl.hhvm.com/ubuntu/conf/distributions
9. In /media/dl.hhvm.com/ubuntu/ run reprepro export <distroname> eg reprepro export <bionic>
10. unmount and unattach the EBS volume
11. run the package build script

manually trigger a build of yesterday's nightly

bin/make-package-on-aws 2018.10.26 ubuntu-18.10-cosmic

If the build log shows 'Unsupported distro', it may be because of not using hhvm-packaging's name, e.g. I just got this by specifying cosmic instead of ubuntu-18.10-cosmic

[fredemmott]

• repo now exists and has yesterday's nightly
• added cosmic to automated nightly builds
• if those go well over the weekend, will do release build on Monday

[fredemmott]

3.29 now has a cosmic build

[fredemmott]

Unlikely to add 3.27 support for cosmic; too much time pressure for other stuff that needs to be done before 3.30 to spend time on that now.
